Create Network Interface For Virtual Machine In Correct Location

MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, is expanding their virtual machine networking configuration to support enhanced connectivity for their educational infrastructure. Claire, the Network Expansion Coordinator, needs to add a second network interface (NIC2) to an existing virtual machine (VM1) that currently hosts their student assessment platform.

Mark, the Network Configuration Specialist, has VM1 located in resource group RG2 in West US, currently connecting to VNET2 through network interface NIC1. The additional network interface will provide connectivity to a separate training network for isolated testing environments used by certification program instructors.

Resource Name	Type	Location	Resource Group
RG1	Resource group	East US	Not applicable
RG2	Resource group	West Europe	Not applicable
RG3	Resource group	North Europe	Not applicable
VNET1	Virtual network	Central US	RG1
VM1	Virtual machine	West US	RG2

The proposed solution is to create the new network interface NIC2 in resource group RG1 and place it in the West US region.

Does this solution meet the goal of creating NIC2 for VM1?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Yes is correct. Creating NIC2 in RG1 and West US meets the goal. Network interfaces can be created in any resource group and region, and NIC2 can then be attached to VM1 regardless of the resource group locations, as long as they're in compatible regions.
No is incorrect. This solution does meet the goal. Network interfaces don't need to be in the same resource group as the virtual machine they serve. The location and network configuration are the primary concerns for NIC functionality.
Only if VNET1 is in West US is incorrect. The solution doesn't depend on VNET1's location. The question states VM1 connects to VNET2 via NIC1, and NIC2 would be an additional interface that can connect to any compatible virtual network in the region.
Only if moved to RG2 is incorrect. Network interfaces don't need to be in the same resource group as the VM. Creating NIC2 in RG1 is perfectly valid and allows the interface to be attached to VM1 in RG2.
