Correct

To control the flow of traffic based on the URL path, you should configure rules in the Azure application gateway. Rules in an Azure application gateway define how incoming traffic is routed to the backend pool or target. Each rule consists of a listener, which specifies the protocol, port, and hostname to listen for, and a backend pool or target, which specifies the destination for traffic that matches the listener's criteria. In this case, you can create a rule for each web app, specifying the hostname www.contoso.com and the URL path for the web app (e.g. /app1, /app2, etc.) as the listener criteria, and the corresponding virtual machine hosting the web app as the backend pool or target. This will allow you to control the flow of traffic based on the URL path, directing traffic to the appropriate virtual machine for each web app. Therefore, the correct answer is C: rules.
