Correct answer & explanation
✓
To display the display name and user principal name of members of the Sales group.
The PowerShell cmdlet `Get-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId <SalesGroupObjectId>` retrieves the members of a specific Azure AD group. By default, it returns the members' display names and user principal names (UPNs), which are the primary identifiers for users in Microsoft Entra ID. Option D correctly identifies this purpose.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The `Get-AzureADGroupMember` cmdlet queries the Microsoft Graph API's `/groups/{id}/members` endpoint, which returns a collection of directory objects (users, groups, service principals) with default properties like `displayName` and `userPrincipalName`. In a real-world scenario, an administrator might use this cmdlet to audit group membership before applying conditional access policies, ensuring only authorized users are included.
KKey Concepts to Remember

TExam Day Tips

→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
