Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

SAS Token
Why it's wrong here
SAS tokens are used for storage access, not for managing Kubernetes compute clusters.

Managed Identity
Why it's wrong here
While supported in some contexts, a Service Principal is the explicit requirement for attaching external compute targets.
- ✗
Azure Active Directory B2C
Why it's wrong here
B2C is for consumer-facing identity, not infrastructure service management.

Service Principal
Why this is correct
Azure ML requires a Service Principal to manage and interact with the Kubernetes API on the attached cluster.
