Complete Azure Policy Resource Type Field For Resource Groups

MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, continues to refine their Azure governance policies to ensure proper resource management across their educational infrastructure. Claire, the Azure Policy Developer, is working on completing the custom policy definition that will enforce the organization tag requirement for all resource groups.

Mark, the Azure Policy Specialist, needs to specify the correct resource type to target resource groups and ensure that each new resource group created for training programs has the proper organizational tagging in place for cost tracking and compliance reporting.

{
  "mode": "all",
  "policyRule": {
    "if": {
      "allOf": [
        {
          "field": "tags['organization']",
          "notEquals": "MDFT Pro"
        },
        {
          "field": "type",
          "equals": "__________"
        }
      ]
    },
    "then": {
      "effect": "Audit"
    }
  }
}

The policy condition needs to identify the correct resource type to target resource groups specifically. What value should Claire specify in the “equals” field to properly target resource groups in this policy?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups is incorrect. This path includes unnecessary subscription scope information. For Azure Policy resource type targeting, the standard resource type path is sufficient and more commonly used.
Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups is correct. This is the correct resource type for targeting resource groups in Azure Policy definitions. It follows the standard Azure resource type format of {resourceProvider}/{resourceType} for resource groups.
resourceGroups is incorrect. This is too abbreviated and doesn't include the Microsoft namespace or resource provider information. Azure Policy requires the full resource type specification for proper resource identification.
Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines is incorrect. This is the resource type for virtual machines, not resource groups. The policy is specifically targeting resource groups for tag enforcement, so this type is completely incorrect for this scenario.
