Explanation

Prisma Cloud's IaC scan service supports ARM (Azure Resource Manager) templates, which are used to deploy and manage Azure infrastructure, and YAML, which is the widely-used format for tools like Kubernetes manifests, CloudFormation templates, Helm charts, and Ansible playbooks. Both represent distinct, real-world IaC template types that security teams commonly need to scan for misconfigurations.

XML (B) is incorrect because modern IaC tooling has moved away from XML; it's not used by any major IaC framework like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Kubernetes. JSON (D) is a distractor because, while ARM templates are technically JSON under the hood and CloudFormation supports JSON, the question is framed around named template formats - ARM is the recognized template standard, not raw JSON.

Memory tip: Think of the two dominant cloud infrastructure ecosystems - Azure uses ARM templates, and virtually everything else (Kubernetes, CloudFormation, Helm) uses YAML. If you remember "ARM and YAML cover the cloud," you'll nail this one.
