  3. C
    The Recovery Services vault can be located in any Azure region within the same Azure subscription.
  4. D

Answer

To successfully configure backup for the virtual machine, the Recovery Services vault must be in the same Azure region as the virtual machine, and the virtual machine can be associated with only one backup policy at a time.
For the backup configuration to succeed, the Recovery Services vault must reside in the same Azure region as the virtual machine. In addition, Azure Backup restricts each virtual machine to be associated with exactly one backup policy at a time.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the regional requirement for the vault.
The Recovery Services vault must match the region of the virtual machine.
Azure Backup does not support configuring backups for virtual machines using a Recovery Services vault located in a different region.
2
Check backup policy association limits per virtual machine.
Only one backup policy can be assigned to a virtual machine.
Azure Backup enforces a one-to-one relationship between a protected virtual machine and its backup policy.
