How to approach this question
Distinguish between identity permissions and resource governance rules.
Full Answer
B.RBAC controls who can perform actions, while Azure Policy controls what properties resources must have.✓ Correct
RBAC manages user access (e.g., granting a user permission to create a VM). Azure Policy ensures that when anyone creates a VM, it complies with corporate rules (e.g., it must be deployed in a specific region).
Common mistakes
Confusing RBAC and Policy because both restrict what can happen in an Azure environment.
