Azure diagnostics extension works with windows VM only. It does not specify anywhere in the question that the VMs are windows based only.

Seems correct, as "The key differences to consider are: Azure Diagnostics Extension can be used only with Azure virtual machines. The Log Analytics agent can be used with virtual machines in Azure, other clouds, and on-premises. ---> Azure Diagnostics extension sends data to Azure Storage, Azure Monitor Metrics (Windows only) and Event Hubs. The Log Analytics agent collects data to Azure Monitor Logs. <--- The Log Analytics agent is required for solutions, Azure Monitor for VMs, and other services such as Azure Security Center." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/diagnostics-extension-overview

Was thinking so hard about the options, decided to go with A. Since the requirement is to "save the VM logs to an Azure Storage Account". The destination is already determined, the only thing to do now is to get a solution to "save" the logs.

The correct answer is A The Azure Diagnostics VM extension enables you to collect monitoring data, such as performance counters and event logs, from your Windows VM. You can granularly specify what data you want to collect and where you want the data to go, such as an Azure Storage account or an Azure Event Hub.

"You need to recommend a solution to save the event logs from the virtual machines to the Azure Storage account" -> It is asking about a way to send logs from VM to a storage account
