Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
SQL Injection Vulnerability and Data Exfiltration
The ARM template shows the security alert policy is enabled (state = Enabled). The disabledAlerts list includes 'Sql_Injection' and 'Access_Anomaly', meaning these two alert types are suppressed and will not trigger alerts. All other alert types (e.g., Sql_Injection_Vulnerability, Data_Exfiltration, Unsafe_Action) remain enabled and will trigger alerts. Therefore, option D is correct because SQL Injection Vulnerability and Data Exfiltration are among the enabled threats.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All alerts except SQL Injection and Access Anomaly
Why it's wrong here
This is partially correct but not specific. The correct answer names two enabled alerts.
- ✗
No alerts will be triggered because the policy is disabled
Why it's wrong here
The state is enabled, so alerts are active.
- ✗
SQL Injection and Access Anomaly
Why it's wrong here
Both are explicitly disabled in the template.
- ✓
SQL Injection Vulnerability and Data Exfiltration
Why this is correct
These alerts are not listed as disabled, so they are enabled.
