You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains a virtual machine named VM1 that runs Windows Server. The subscription contains the storage accounts shown in the following table. You plan…
The correct answer is A. storage1. For Azure VM boot diagnostics, the storage account must be a general-purpose storage account (StorageV2 or StorageV1) and must support blobs, making Standard_LRS (StorageV2) a suitable choice.

Why each option
For Azure VM boot diagnostics, the storage account must be a general-purpose storage account (StorageV2 or StorageV1) and must support blobs, making Standard_LRS (StorageV2) a suitable choice.
Azure Boot Diagnostics requires a general-purpose storage account (StorageV2 or StorageV1) that supports blobs to store the serial console logs and screenshots. Storage1 is a StorageV2 (general-purpose v2) account with Standard_LRS redundancy and supports Blob Storage, which perfectly meets these requirements.
Storage2 is a FileStorage account, designed specifically for Azure Files, and is not suitable for boot diagnostics, which require blob storage.
Storage3 is a BlockBlobStorage account, optimized for block blobs, which is not directly supported or recommended for the general purpose blob storage required by boot diagnostics.
Storage4 is a StorageV2 account that explicitly specifies Page Blob Storage, which is primarily used for VHDs and specialized scenarios, not the general-purpose blob storage required by boot diagnostics.
