A. B. C. D.B
There are different payment options in Azure including pay-as-you-go (PAYG), Enterprise Agreement (EA), and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) accounts.
Your Azure costs are 'per subscription'. You are charged monthly for all resources in a subscription. Therefore, to use different payment options per department, you will need to create a separate subscription per department. You can create multiple subscriptions in a single Azure Active Directory tenant.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A reservation is where you commit to a resource (for example a virtual machine) for one or three years. This gives you a discounted price on the resource for the reservation period. Reservations do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.
C: A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources. You can view the total cost of all the resources in a resource group. However, resource groups do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.
D: A container instance is an Azure resource used to run an application. Container instances do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.

In an Azure environment, a subscription is a logical container for resources such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and databases. When you create an Azure subscription, you can choose a payment method and associate it with the subscription. This payment method can be a credit card, invoice, or another payment option, depending on your region and account type.
By creating a subscription for each department, you can ensure that each department can use a different payment option for the Azure services it consumes. For example, you can associate one subscription with a credit card for department A and another subscription with an invoice for department B. This allows each department to have its own billing account and control over its own spending.
Reservations are used to pre-purchase resources, such as virtual machines or SQL databases, for a specific term. This can help you save money and ensure capacity for your workloads, but it is not related to payment options for different departments.
Resource groups are logical containers for resources that share the same lifecycle, such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and virtual networks. They are not related to payment options either.
Container instances are a way to deploy and run containers on Azure without managing virtual machines or other infrastructure. They are not related to payment options for different departments either.
