  Step 1: Sign in to Azure portal, Step 2: Click 'Create a resource' and search for 'Cognitive Services', Step 3: Select the desired service and configure settings, Step 4: Review and create

  Why this is correct

  To provision a Cognitive Services resource, you must first establish an authenticated session in the Azure portal, then initiate the creation workflow via 'Create a resource' and search for Cognitive Services. At that point you select the exact service (e.g., multi-service or a single API), configure the required subscription, resource group, region, and pricing tier, and finally the 'Review + create' step validates those settings before deployment. This order aligns with Azure's Resource Manager deployment pipeline, ensuring that configuration inputs exist before final validation.

• ✗

  Step 1: Sign in to Azure portal, Step 2: Select the desired service and configure settings, Step 3: Click 'Create a resource' and search for 'Cognitive Services', Step 4: Review and create

  Why it's wrong here

  This sequence fails because it attempts to select and configure a service that has not yet been instantiated as a resource. In the Azure portal, you cannot navigate to service-specific configuration fields until you have entered the 'Create a resource' flow and chosen the Cognitive Services category or a specific service type. The creation blade is what presents the configuration form; selecting and configuring before initiating that blade is impossible, so the logical prerequisite is the 'Create a resource' step.

• ✗

  Step 1: Click 'Create a resource' and search for 'Cognitive Services', Step 2: Sign in to Azure portal, Step 3: Select the desired service and configure settings, Step 4: Review and create

  Why it's wrong here

  This ordering is invalid because every action in the Azure portal requires an authenticated identity and active session. Clicking 'Create a resource' without being signed in will simply redirect you to a sign-in page or show an authorization error, as Azure enforces role-based access control to even view the resource creation interfaces. Therefore, 'Sign in to the Azure portal' must be the first step, preceding all portal-based actions, which this option places second.

• ✗

  Step 1: Sign in to Azure portal, Step 2: Click 'Create a resource' and search for 'Cognitive Services', Step 3: Review and create, Step 4: Select the desired service and configure settings

  Why it's wrong here

  The critical error here is placing 'Review and create' before 'Select the desired service and configure settings.' The review step in the Azure portal's creation flow is a summary and validation of the settings you have already specified; it checks for missing fields, duplicate names, and quota limits, and it displays estimated costs. If you attempt to review before configuring anything, the blade will be empty or invalid, so configuration must logically occur before any review or final creation.
