  2. B
    West Europe
  3. C
    Any Azure region globally
  4. D
    Any regional pair of North Europe

Answer

The Recovery Services Vault must be created in the North Europe region.
The correct answer is North Europe. For Azure Virtual Machine backup, the Recovery Services Vault must be created in the same Azure region as the virtual machine you want to back up.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the region of the source virtual machine.
The virtual machine AppVM1 is located in the North Europe region.
Azure Backup requires co-location of the vault and the virtual machine to perform backup operations.
2
Determine the required region for the Recovery Services Vault.
The vault must also be created in the North Europe region.
Azure does not support backing up virtual machines to a Recovery Services Vault deployed in a different region.
