Tags enable you to retrieve related resources from different resource groups. This approach is helpful when you need to organize resources for billing or management.

The given solution to create a resource group for each resource type and assign tags to each resource group meets the goal of providing a consolidated view for cost reporting that displays cost broken down by department.

Resource groups in Azure are logical containers that allow you to manage and organize Azure resources. Tags are name-value pairs that enable you to categorize resources and logically organize them into a taxonomy. Tags can be used to track cost and usage of resources and can be applied at the resource group level.

By creating a resource group for each resource type and assigning tags to each resource group based on department, it becomes easy to track and report the costs for each department to deploy the app services and the databases. This approach enables you to filter cost data by department and provides a consolidated view for cost reporting that displays cost broken down by department.

Therefore, the solution recommended in the scenario is valid and meets the goal of providing a consolidated view for cost reporting that displays cost broken down by department. Answer: A. Yes
