The correct answers are A and D. A - Authorization credentials are required to authenticate the agent to the organization, and they should be defined in the unattended configuration script. D - The organization URL is also required in the unattended configuration script, as the agent must know where to connect and register with the organization.

Organization and Auth credentials are required for unattended config script. For credentials, there is also option to pass PAT as well https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/windows-agent?view=azure-devops#unattended-config

I thought authorization credentials should not be in a script - but it looks like the right answer

There is an option to pass PAT for credentials instead of userid / pass

A and D are correct options o configure an agent, it must know the URL to your organization or collection and credentials of someone authorized to set up agents. All other responses are optional. Any command-line parameter can be specified using an environment variable instead: put its name in upper case and prepend VSTS_AGENT_INPUT_. For example, VSTS_AGENT_INPUT_PASSWORD instead of specifying --password.
