Explanation

Azure MFA supports: (A) text message/SMS - a one-time code sent to a mobile number; (B) Microsoft Authenticator app - push notifications or TOTP codes via the app; and (D) phone call - an automated call that prompts the user to press a key to approve.

Security questions (E) are also used only for self-service password reset, not as an MFA second factor.
