You are planning the IP addressing for the subnets in Azure virtual networks. Which type of resource requires IP addresses in the subnets?

The correct answer is B. internal load balancers. Internal load balancers require IP addresses within a subnet to operate, as their frontend IP configuration is typically a private IP address.

Why each option

Internal load balancers require IP addresses within a subnet to operate, as their frontend IP configuration is typically a private IP address.

Astorage account

Storage accounts are platform-as-a-service (PaaS) resources that do not consume private IP addresses from a subnet for their core functionality.

Binternal load balancersCorrect

Internal load balancers require at least one private IP address from a subnet for their frontend configuration to distribute traffic to backend resources within the virtual network. This IP is part of the subnet's address space.

Cservice endpoints

Service endpoints allow Azure services to be secured to a virtual network but do not consume IP addresses from the subnet themselves.

Dvirtual network peering

Virtual network peering connects two virtual networks without consuming IP addresses from the subnets involved; it operates at the network level.
