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

Distractor review

Assign Contributor to the administrator at the management group scope.

A management group assignment would flow to more than Dev-Sub and is too broad.

B

Best answer

Assign Contributor to the administrator at the Dev-Sub scope.

This limits the contributor permissions to Dev-Sub, which matches the requirement.

C

Distractor review

Assign Owner to the administrator at the resource group scope in Dev-Sub.

Owner is more privileged than necessary and a resource-group scope does not help before the resource group exists.

D

Distractor review

Assign Reader to the administrator at the Prod-Sub scope and Contributor at the tenant root group.

Contributor at tenant root would grant far more access than required.

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.

Question 4

You need to deploy several identical virtual machines and ensure that the failure of a single Azure host does not affect all of them. Which feature should you use?

Question 5

You need to connect VNet-Hub and VNet-Spoke so that resources in both virtual networks can communicate privately over the Microsoft backbone. Both virtual networks are in the same region. What should you configure?

Question 6

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: Assign Contributor to the administrator at the Dev-Sub scope. — Assigning the Contributor role at the Dev-Sub subscription scope grants the ability to create and manage resource groups and other resources in that subscription only. Assigning roles at a management group or tenant root scope would be broader than required, while Reader in Prod-Sub plus Contributor at tenant root would still grant excessive permissions.
