Cool, but probably there is a trick with LAD version? Question refers to LAD 3.0, However this article refers to v 4.0 version. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/diagnostics-linux?tabs=azcli

no. It's actually in the link you provided, "Important For information about version 3.x, see Use the Linux diagnostic extension 3.0 to monitor metrics and logs. For information about version 2.3 and earlier, see Monitor the performance and diagnostic data of a Linux VM." so LAD version doesn't matter. B is the right answer!

Selected Answer: B
To monitor the metrics and logs of a Linux virtual machine in Azure, you can use the Linux Diagnostic Extension (LAD) 3.0. Therefore, the correct answer is: B. Linux Diagnostic Extension (LAD) 3.0 LAD is a solution provided by Microsoft to collect diagnostic data, logs, and metrics from Linux virtual machines running in Azure. LAD can be used to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as CPU, memory, and disk usage, as well as collect system logs and custom logs. Option A, Azure HDInsight, is a cloud-based service that provides Apache Hadoop and Spark clusters for big data processing. Option C, the AzurePerformanceDiagnostics extension, is not a valid Azure service or feature. Option D, Azure Analysis Services, is a PaaS offering that provides enterprise-grade analytics and BI services in the cloud. It is not designed for monitoring Linux virtual machines.

Answer is B but question is outdated : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/agents-overview Azure Monitor recently launched a new agent, the Azure Monitor agent, that provides all capabilities necessary to collect guest operating system monitoring data. While there are multiple legacy agents that exist due to the consolidation of Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, each with their unique capabilities with some overlap, we recommend that you use the new agent that aims to consolidate features from all existing agents, and provide additional benefits. Learn More The Azure Monitor agent is meant to replace the Log Analytics agent, Azure Diagnostic extension and Telegraf agent for both Windows and Linux machines.
