• RG1 -ModeComplete

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of ARM template deployment commands and deployment modes, specifically how to use 'Complete' mode to remove existing resources before deploying new ones.

Approach. The correct command uses 'New-AzResourceGroupDeployment' (PowerShell) or 'az deployment group create' (Azure CLI) with the '-Mode Complete' parameter. The 'Complete' deployment mode tells Azure Resource Manager to delete resources that exist in the resource group but are NOT defined in the template, effectively clearing out old resources before deploying new ones. The command would look like: New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName RG1 -TemplateFile template1.json -Mode Complete. The key selections are: (1) 'New-AzResourceGroupDeployment' as the cmdlet to deploy to a resource group, and (2) 'Complete' as the Mode parameter value, since 'Incremental' mode (the default) would only add/update resources without removing existing ones.

Concept tested. ARM template deployment modes (Incremental vs Complete) and the correct PowerShell/CLI cmdlet for resource group-scoped deployments. The 'Complete' mode is critical here because it ensures existing resources not in the template are deleted, while 'Incremental' mode would leave existing resources intact.
