B and C are incorrect because manual provisioning extends the overall administration time. D and E are incorrect because Citrix Provisioning does not provide public cloud support. A is correct because MCS combined with AppLayering provides the highest level of automation and least amount of administrative effort.

we can do pvs in azure already https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/provisioning/current-release/configure/configure-azure.html but on the exam my answer for this question would be B [MCS+AppLayering]

Why not F. MCS. Use of App Layering is overcomplicating the setup and is slow and complex Just because 15 users require an app is not enough reason to use App Layering. Justifications for app layering that Citrix gives are: 1. you have more than 10 or more separate images to maintain on various OS. 2. Multiple hypervisors. 3. Require portability between different hypervisors. In the real world I don't think you should use App Layering for this case.

I would go for A, because it says "minimize required time to perform image and app updates" - with manual provisioning you need more time to do windows updates.

A is right MCS+app layering (msc in public cloud (pvs not supported), in addition with few kind of users that need applications, use elastic layer, so app layering)

A is correct. @cloudaccount explains it well. In addition, for the 15 users (out of 1,000 licenses), this is a sure use case for Elastic layer- App Layering
