Explanation
{"question_number": 10, "correct_answer": "A (Increase the size)", "explanation": "Azure supports online expansion of data disk size without requiring VM deallocation or downtime. You can increase Disk2's size through the Azure portal or CLI while VM1 is running, then extend the volume within the guest OS. Decreasing disk size (C) is not supported in Azure at all-you cannot shrink a managed disk. Changing the encryption type (B) requires the disk to be detached or the VM to be stopped/deallocated. Changing storage type from Standard HDD to Premium SSD (D) traditionally requires the VM to be deallocated. Only increasing the disk size is a non-disruptive operation.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
