Explanation
Check Point Standalone deployments (combining Management and Gateway on a single instance) are fully supported on Microsoft Azure through multiple methods: the Azure Marketplace, Azure solution templates, and PowerShell scripting - making D the correct and complete answer. Option A is wrong because Azure absolutely supports this architecture; Check Point has published official deployment guides for it. Option B is wrong because GitHub is not a standalone deployment method for Azure Check Point resources - while templates may be hosted on GitHub, you deploy them through Azure mechanisms, not GitHub itself. Option C is wrong not because PowerShell is invalid, but because it presents PowerShell as the only method, which is too restrictive since Marketplace and solution templates are equally valid paths.
Memory tip: Think "3 ways to deploy CP on Azure" - Marketplace, Templates, PowerShell (MTP). Any answer listing fewer than all three is incomplete and therefore wrong.
