Azure AD Free, doesn't cost anything

Not sure if I understand it correctly, but it looks like Premium versions of Azure AD are charged per user: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/active-directory/ Now, the question does not says what kind of AD subscription we are talking about, so I guess free, so answer would be B. But if we are talking about P1 or P2, answer should be A.

They're using AD groups which are only available in premium. So the answer is A.

I think the clue is in the fact that the accounts are unused, so the answer is B.

Yes. Cost is for Monthly Active Users. Unused = No Cost

Yes, removing the unused network interfaces can help reduce Azure costs for the company. Network interfaces are charged based on the number of hours they exist, regardless of their association with a virtual machine. So removing unused network interfaces can help reduce costs. So the correct answer to your question is A. Yes.

Only free AD license has no fees per user. The rest is charged: Basic 1$ per user per month, Premium P1 6$ per user per month, Premium P2 9$ per user per month. https://www.agileit.com/news/understanding-azure-active-directory-licensing-free-basic-p1-p2/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/active-directory/?&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMIidK5z-n_7gIVGEeRBR079AVCEAAYASAAEgLrB_D_BwE:G:s&OCID=AID2100098_SEM_EAIaIQobChMIidK5z-n_7gIVGEeRBR079AVCEAAYASAAEgLrB_D_BwE:G:s&dclid=CKa2ttHp_-4CFSutmgod6SYLPg

You delete the account but you already have the license, don't you?

Yes but it doesn't mention a license here - just user account. If you have just an account that doesn't have a license, you can keep it at no cost, deleting it will not save money (because it is just an account, not a license). If it was delete unused license, then it will be YES, this will save money.
