Webjob support following file types: cmd, .bat, .exe (using Windows cmd) .ps1 (using PowerShell) .sh (using Bash) .php (using PHP) .py (using Python) .js (using Node.js) .jar (using Java) So I think the correct answer should be Yes.

Agreed answer i no since apps dont have a consumption plan where azure functions do. And Logic apps you pay for what you use which is part of the question to not pay when its not in use.

I agree, "No" is the correct answer. Had the question said "migrating a WEB APP", I would say yes since a WJ does not add any additional cost to an App Service. However, all we know is it is an "application" getting migrated, which could be App Service, container, VM, etc.

The answer should be Yes I think, Webjobs is the only service used in this question set that can run a legacy windows application (.exe or cmd) LogicApps and Azure functions do not support running legacy application without additional infrastructure to execute the code

Not true. Even Azure Functions support Windows Executable (.exe) and give benefit of Time scheduler.

Pay per use (consumption plan) is only available for functions, not Webjobs. So correct answer is no. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-compare-logic-apps-ms-flow-webjobs

You are missing this part -> During times that the image processing application is not running, it should not be consuming any Azure compute resources. While the webjob is not running you will continue to pay for the app service plan associated.

Ans is correct: No The Azure Web Job is normally used to run a program or script in the same context as the Azure Web App. It would not be used to run a legacy-based application.

Answer in the instead could also be to use a Azure Batch job which does not use the WebApp context and is standalone.

Cuz, it was mentioned "During times that the image processing application is not running, it should not be consuming any Azure compute resources." , WebJobs run within Web App context and Web Apps are consuming compute resources since their creation till their deletion.

WebJobs can run continuous or triggered (manual or on schedule). There is no additional cost to use WebJobs. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-create

This article say "For the scheduling to work reliably, enable the Always On feature. Always On is available only in the Basic, Standard, and Premium pricing tiers." So, scheduled Webjobs is not free even when it is waiting.
