a management group
D

Correct Answer

B: an Azure policy

Explanation

Azure policies can be used to define requirements for resource properties during deployment and for already existing resources. Azure Policy\ncontrols properties such as the types or locations of resources.\nAzure Policy is a service in Azure that you use to create, assign, and manage policies. These policies enforce different rules and effects over\nyour resources, so those resources stay compliant with your corporate standards and service level agreements. Azure Policy meets this need by\nevaluating your resources for non- compliance with assigned policies. All data stored by Azure Policy is encrypted at rest.\nAzure Policy offers several built-in policies that are available by default. In this question, we would use the 'Allowed Locations' policy to define\nthe locations where resources can be deployed.
