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 a private IP address from a subnet to function as their frontend, consuming an IP address from that subnet's range.

Why each option

Internal load balancers require a private IP address from a subnet to function as their frontend, consuming an IP address from that subnet's range.

Astorage account

Storage accounts are PaaS resources that do not directly consume private IP addresses from a subnet for their core operations, even when integrated via private endpoints.

Binternal load balancersCorrect

An internal load balancer uses a private IP address from a subnet as its frontend IP configuration to distribute traffic to backend resources within the virtual network. This IP address is taken from the subnet's available range.

Cservice endpoints

Service endpoints allow secure access to Azure services directly from a VNet but do not consume IP addresses within the subnet itself.

Dservice endpoint policies

Service endpoint policies allow filtering network traffic to Azure services over service endpoints but do not consume IP addresses from subnets.
