Suggested Answer:

Box 1: the same fault domain -
Fault domains define the group of virtual machines that share a common power source and network switch. If a storage fault domain fails due to hardware or software failure, only the VM instance with disks on the storage fault domain fails.

Box 2: managed disks -
Managed disks provide better reliability for Availability Sets by ensuring that the disks of VMs in an Availability Set are sufficiently isolated from each other to avoid single points of failure. It does this by automatically placing the disks in different storage fault domains (storage clusters) and aligning them with the VM fault domain.

I'd say the second one is datacenter outages. Although it is correct that AS is fully integrated with managed disks, the context of the question is related to Fault and update domains.
