Suggested Answer:
Box 1: A source control system -
A source control system, also called a version control system, allows developers to collaborate on code and track changes. Source control is an essential tool for multi-developer projects.

Box 2: A hosted service -
To build and deploy Xcode apps or Xamarin.iOS projects, you'll need at least one macOS agent. If your pipelines are in Azure Pipelines and a Microsoft-hosted agent meets your needs, you can skip setting up a self-hosted macOS agent.
Scenario: The investment planning applications suite will include one multi-tier web application and two iOS mobile applications. One mobile application will be used by employees; the other will be used by customers.

For both selections, the correct answer is hosted service The build agent can't be hosted in the source control system :)

Source control system in this question might mean server where it resides and installing build agent on this server is very much possible, allowing to keep build agent close to the source control system, which it will need and also avoiding firewall issues inbetween.

Answer is "hosted" for both. Run a hosted agent everytime you can, if you cannot, retort to installing and configuring one on your dev machine and then registering it with the project. In some context, like GitLab, agents are called runners and you have shared (hosted) runners and specific (dev-machine) runners.
