Selected Answer: E
"Diagnostics extension: Sends data to Azure Monitor Metrics (Windows only), Azure Event Hubs, and Azure Storage. This is not consolidated yet." So, Diagnostics extension is a legacy extension that will be replaced completely by Azure Monitor agent in the near future but right now is the right answer. Moreover, the emphases is on the "Send data to Azure Storage" and the Diagnostics extension does exactly that.

We are not monitoring here. monitoring does more then jsut collect performance. We are collecting performance information on azure vms. I see 2 choices and the diagnostic extension fits best. If the question changes -it could include Some on prem element, then it would be azure monitor instead This means diagnostic extension to a storage account will work fine- Azure Diagnostics extension overview - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Learn Complexities on a test will ask around this vs log analytics. This is good for on prem or outside azure Azure monitor or arc agent might be mostly used in on prem or hybrid situations: Azure Monitor Agent overview - Azure Monitor | Microsoft Learn
