C Is the right one. "Standard" Tier does "not allow" Automatic scaling. Automatic scaling requerres Premium V2 or Premium V3 tier

I was wrong. "Standard" Tier does "not allow" Automatic scaling BASED ON TRAFFIC But is allow BASED ON METRICS (Like CPU suage)

I was right. Is not clear because microsoft naming - Scale out method "AUTOMATIC" if to scale based on traffic - Scale out method "RULES BASED" if to scale based on metrics In fact is not possible create a AUTOMATIC scaling based on METRICS https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/manage-automatic-scaling?tabs=azure-portal

Selected Answer: D

D - To ensure that the website remains available and responsive while minimizing cost, you should deploy the website to an App Service that uses the Standard service tier and configure the App Service plan to automatically scale when the CPU load is high. This way, the website can handle high traffic volumes by automatically scaling the number of instances of the website, reducing the risk of the website becoming unavailable due to high traffic.

I think this would depend on whether you want to have to manage the VMs. If you choose VMs, you are responsible for OS and updates. I would think D would be the right answer
