Explanation

B: ZIP package itself gets mounted directly as the read-only wwwroot directory (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-run-package). Hence, it cannot generate static files from there. Meantime, using PreBuild is acceptable. D: To customize your deployment, include a .deployment file in the repository root. You just need to add a file to the root of your repository with the name .deployment and the command = YOUR COMMAND TO RUN FOR DEPLOYMENT this command can be just running a script (batch file) that has all that is required for your deployment, like copying files from the repository to the web root directory for example. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-local-git?tabs=cli https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-targets?view=vs-2022 ( for build pipeline in Azure DevOps)
