HOTSPOT -
You are developing an ASP.NET Core time sheet application that runs as an Azure Web App. Users of the application enter their time sheet information on the first day of every month.
The application uses a third-party web service to validate data.
The application encounters periodic server errors due to errors that result from calling a third-party web server. Each request to the third-party server has the same chance of failure.
You need to configure an Azure Monitor alert to detect server errors unrelated to the third-party service. You must minimize false-positive alerts.
How should you complete the Azure Resource Manager template? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

DynamicThresholdCriterion: Dynamic thresholds in metric alerts use advanced machine learning to learn metric Http5XX, just a name , we are monitoring server errors, so 500 range error reponses AlertSensitvity : would set is to high. "You must minimize false-positive alerts" The thresholds will be tight and close to the metric series pattern. An alert rule will be triggered on the smallest deviation, resulting in more alerts.

I think sensitivity should be low due to "false positive" requirements, if we set to high we report on every smallest deviation, and it means there is a highly chance of false positive

Agree. Definition according to MS: High: The thresholds will be tight and close to the metric series pattern. An alert rule will be triggered on the smallest deviation, resulting in more alerts. Medium: The thresholds will be less tight and more balanced. There will be fewer alerts than with high sensitivity (default). Low: The thresholds will be loose with more distance from metric series pattern. An alert rule will only trigger on large deviations, resulting in fewer alerts.

I Take Back What I've said.. 500 seems appropriate. because we want to track server errors. It is still 500. it doesn't matter if it is third party or first party. It's 500

It says "errors unrelated to the third-party service". So, I think it should be Http4xx. Not 5xx.

the same for me, It makes more sense to be 4XX then 5XX usually related with Service Unavailable and so forth
