Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Azure Policy is a service that enforces rules and evaluates compliance as you manage systems in Azure.
For example, you can deny the creation of resources outside of the Japan region, or limit the creation of virtual machines to a certain size.
Each rule is called a policy definition, and a collection of policy definitions is called an initiative definition.
Policy definitions and initiative definitions can then be assigned to management groups, subscriptions, and resource groups.
Note that if you apply the Azure Policy when resources you want to prevent from being created already exist, the existing resources will not be deleted. (Only the presence or absence of violations will be displayed.)
For example, if you have a virtual machine in a region other than Japan, and you apply the Deny creation of resources outside Japan policy, the existing virtual machine will not be deleted, but you will not be able to create new virtual machines outside Japan.
