Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

To stop charging for a virtual machine, you must stop it from the Azure Portal and set it to the Deallocated state.


Note that even if you connect to the virtual machine through Remote Desktop or SSH and perform an operation such as shutting down the operating system, the resources are not released and the charges do not stop.
