given answer is correct as per below link it has misleading first line which says "you must prepare the virtual hard disk (VHD or VHDX)." but later on they are having steps to convert vhdx to vhd using Hyper-V Manager or Convert-VHD cmdlet in PowerShell hence given asnwer is correct https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/prepare-for-upload-vhd-image removing option Integration services does not make sense as this are services that allow the virtual machine to communicate with the Hyper-V host. Many of these services are conveniences while others can be quite important to the virtual machine's ability to function correctly.

Add-AzVhd will convert .vhdx file to a .vhd file before uploading (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.compute/add-azvhd?view=azps-7.2.0), so why do you need B?

I would guess CDF is the answer, but what's Option D's "Generalize VM1." mean ?

No BDF. Generalize means 'sysprep'. Refer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/capture-image-resource#generalize-the-windows-vm-using-sysprep

Azure supports only VHD format, so it needs to be converted beforehand. see https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/virtual-machines/windows/prepare-for-upload-vhd-image. Therefore solution B is for sure one of the correct answers.
