Explanation

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (B) and Azure Blob Storage containers (D) both natively support Azure Active Directory authentication using OAuth 2.0 tokens and Azure RBAC for fine-grained access control - this is deeply integrated into the Azure storage platform. Azure File Share (C) supports authentication via AD DS (on-premises Active Directory) for SMB protocol access and Azure AD DS, but its authentication model is based on Kerberos/SMB rather than the native Azure AD OAuth model used by blob-based storage; it requires additional configuration and domain join steps rather than being 'native' Azure AD integration. Azure Data Box (A) is an offline physical data transfer appliance and is not a persistent storage service that supports directory-based authentication.
