B
Set up Azure Cost Alerts to notify when spending exceeds a certain threshold.
C
Create Management Groups to organize resources into logical groups for easier management.
D
Implement Resource Locks to prevent the deletion of specific resources or resource groups.

Correct Answer

A: Use Azure Policy to define and enforce security standards and policies across multiple subscriptions.

Explanation

The correct answer is to use Azure Policy to define and enforce a set of security standards and policies across multiple subscriptions. Azure Policy allows you to create and assign policies that can be applied to resources in different subscriptions, ensuring consistency and compliance. Management Groups can be used for organizational purposes but do not enforce policies. Resource locks can prevent deletion but do not enforce security policies. Cost alerts can help monitor spending but do not enforce policies.
