Weird question. What VM have to do with this? On-premise is not IaaS, Azure Web App is PaaS not SaaS...

When you're not on an consumption based plan but an app service plan, you can configure how much instances (VM's) it uses under the via de App Service Plan - Scale out option. So the answer is correct.

Pricing tier should be isolation or standard?

It should be isolated as the azure resources must be inside VNET. Only Isolated app service plans be inside VNET. Rest all have links created to VNET

If the ASE (App Service Environment) was listed, that could be a valid response too. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/environment/intro

You need to have an App Service Environment in order to run an Isolated App Service Plan.
