  1. Azure MonitorAnswer
  2. B
    Azure Service Health
  3. C
    Azure Policy
  4. D
    Azure Resource Locks

Answer

Azure Monitor
Azure Monitor collects and analyzes performance data (metrics) from individual Azure resources, including virtual machine CPU utilization, and allows you to set up alerts to notify administrators when thresholds are exceeded.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the goal of the scenario.
The goal is to collect performance metrics (CPU utilization) of virtual machines and configure alerts when a threshold is met.
Understanding the requirement helps isolate the Azure service designed specifically for telemetry collection and alerting.
2
Evaluate the capabilities of the options against the goal.
Azure Monitor collects telemetry (metrics and logs) and supports alerting. Azure Service Health is for global Azure status. Azure Policy enforces compliance. Azure Resource Locks prevent deletion or modification.
This step distinguishes between management, governance, and monitoring services.
