B. GitHub App The Azure Pipelines GitHub App is the recommended authentication type for continuous integration pipelines. After you install the GitHub App in your GitHub account or organization, your pipeline will run without using your personal GitHub identity. Builds and GitHub status updates will be performed using the Azure Pipelines identity. This allows for a clear separation between personal and automated actions, providing better security and management of access rights within your project’s CI/CD processes.

I had a similar question to this one on my exam on September 12, 2023, but it asked something along the lines of which authentication method to use if the pipelines needs access to external services. The Github App option wasn't there (Now that I think about it, I think the question didn't mention Github at all, but I'm not sure) and I choosed the PAT token. Passed with 877.

B. GitHub App: Allows Azure Pipelines run with its own identity and access permissions when interacting with the GitHub repository. Personal Access Token (PAT), Azure Pipelines will have access to GitHub using the the permissions associated with the PAT. Azure AD, it isn't the preferred authentication mechanism for integrating GitHub repositories with Azure Pipelines. OAuth, Used to authenticate users and services with GitHub, Not ensure using the Azure Pipelines identity.
