Azure Resource Locks Application Scope

Mark, a governance specialist at MDFT Pro training agency, is developing a comprehensive Azure resource management course for enterprise customers. The course focuses on implementing proper resource protection and cost management strategies across large Azure deployments. Claire, the senior instructor, needs to demonstrate the different scopes where protective measures like locks can be applied to prevent accidental resource deletion or modification. The training scenario involves a typical enterprise Azure hierarchy where students learn to implement governance controls at appropriate levels.

The training environment includes the following Azure resource hierarchy:

Level	Resource Name	Type
Management Group	MG1	Management Group
Subscription	Sub1	Subscription
Resource Group	RG1	Resource Group
Virtual Machine	VM1	Virtual Machine

At which levels can Azure resource locks be applied to prevent resource deletion?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

RG1 and VM1 only is incorrect. This is too restrictive. Locks can also be applied at the subscription level (Sub1) to provide broader protection across multiple resource groups.
Sub1 and RG1 only is incorrect. This excludes individual resources like VM1. Azure resource locks can be applied to individual resources as well as subscription and resource group levels.
Sub1, RG1, and VM1 only is correct. Correct. Azure resource locks can be applied at the subscription level (Sub1), resource group level (RG1), and individual resource level (VM1). They cannot be applied to management groups.
MG1, Sub1, RG1, and VM1 only is incorrect. Management groups (MG1) do not support resource locks. Locks are only available at subscription, resource group, and individual resource levels.
Tenant Root Group, MG1, Sub1, RG1, and VM1 is incorrect. Neither Tenant Root Group nor Management Groups support resource locks. Resource locks are only supported at subscription, resource group, and resource levels.
