As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1. VM1 was deployed by using a custom Azure Resource Manager template named ARM1.json. You receive a notification that VM1 will be affected by maintenance. You need to move VM1 to a different host immediately. Solution: From the resource group blade, move VM1 to another subscription. Does this meet the goal?

Why each option

Moving an Azure virtual machine to a different subscription changes its logical grouping and billing, but not its underlying physical host.

AYes

Moving an Azure VM between subscriptions is a logical organizational change and has no impact on the physical host where the VM is running.

BNoCorrect

Moving VM1 to another subscription is a management operation that changes the resource's logical association and billing context within Azure, but it does not relocate the virtual machine to a different underlying physical host. Therefore, this action would not address the maintenance notification for the current host.
