B doesn't make sense, but D does. See: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/azure-app-service-edit-web-config-remotely-using-visual-studio/

That statement does not make sense to me considering available answers: 'You must be able to edit files in the web application directly <<without having to redeploy>> or <<use other means of connecting to the web application>>.' Becase: A - 'FTP connection' IS connection to App files; B - 'remotely update the file' IS connection to App files; C - '(...) deploy (...)' -> 'without having to redeploy'; D - 'VS Server Explorer to update the file' - requires connection so IS connection with App files; Even though I think the question is weird I would go for D.
