Full question →hardmulti selectObjective-mapped
An enterprise wants one governance package to be applied automatically to every production subscription that is added in the future. The package contains several policy definitions that should be managed together. Which two actions are required? Select two.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
Create or use a production management group and assign the governance package at that scope.
Management groups are the correct hierarchy for automatic inheritance across multiple subscriptions. Assigning governance at the management-group scope ensures every child production subscription receives the baseline without separate manual work. This satisfies the requirement for future subscriptions as well as existing ones.
B
Best answer
Package the related policy definitions into a policy initiative before assigning them.
A policy initiative groups multiple policy definitions so they can be assigned and managed together. That makes the governance package easier to deploy, maintain, and report on. It is the natural fit when several policies must travel as one baseline.
C
Distractor review
Assign each policy separately to every resource group so the settings are inherited upward.
Resource-group assignments do not scale well for subscription-wide governance and they do not create an automatic baseline for future subscriptions. Policies also inherit from higher scopes downward, not upward. This approach reverses the intended design.
D
Distractor review
Use tags on resources to make policy definitions automatically apply to new subscriptions.
Tags are useful metadata, but they do not cause policy inheritance across Azure scopes. A tag cannot substitute for a management-group assignment or a policy initiative. This option confuses classification with enforcement.
E
Distractor review
Apply a resource lock to the management group so all child subscriptions inherit the policies.
Resource locks protect specific resources or scopes from certain operations, but they do not define or distribute policies. A lock is not a governance package and does not replace policy assignment. It solves a different problem entirely.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this AZ-104 question test?
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Create or use a production management group and assign the governance package at that scope. — To apply a baseline automatically across current and future production subscriptions, you need the right hierarchy and the right policy packaging. The management group provides inheritance across subscriptions, and the policy initiative bundles multiple policy definitions into one assignable unit. Together, they create a scalable governance model that is easy to maintain and extend. Why others are wrong: Assigning to resource groups is too fragmented, tags do not drive policy inheritance, and locks do not implement compliance packages. Those options either solve the wrong problem or operate at the wrong scope.
