There are only three methods that support MFA + SSPR : SMS, VOICE, MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR APP. Now coming to the context of this question, SMS is given as choice, so that's one correct answer. Voice and Authenticator APP don't find a mention so what remains is Azure AD passwords, Email and SQs. Always remember: Azure AD PASSWORD is the primary authentication system. MFA/ SSPR are secondary authentications steps (Remember 2-step verification ???) So whenever there is no other option available for secondary authentication steps, the primary authentication method (Azure AD Passwords) is considered. Hence correct answer is : AB

A& B are correct answers. An Azure AD password is often one of the primary authentication methods. You can't disable the password authentication method. Even if you use an authentication method such as SMS-based sign-in when the user doesn't use their password to sign, a password remains as an available authentication method.
