Correct answer & explanation
✓
Start time (e.g., 2:00 AM local time)
Azure SQL Managed Instance allows you to configure a maintenance window including the day of week (e.g., Sunday), start time (e.g., 2:00 AM local time), and a notification email for upcoming maintenance. Option C is incorrect because maintenance windows are instance-level, not per database. Option D is incorrect because it applies to Azure SQL Database, not Managed Instance.
