As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an Azure App Service plan named APSPlan1 set to the Basic B1 pricing tier. APSPlan1 contains an App Service web app named WebApp1. You plan to enable schedule-based autoscaling for APSPlan1. You need to minimize the cost of running WebApp1. Solution: Scale out APSPlan1. Does the solution meet the goal?

Explanation
Scaling out (increasing the instance count) does not minimize costs; it would actually increase them because more instances of the App Service Plan would be running. To minimize costs, you could scale down to a lower tier that still supports autoscaling (such as the Standard tier if autoscaling is required) rather than scaling out.
