You are designing an Azure solution for a company that has four departments. Each department will deploy several Azure app services and Azure SQL databases.
You need to recommend a solution to report the costs for each department to deploy the app services and the databases. The solution must provide a consolidated view for cost reporting that displays cost broken down by department.
Solution: Place all resources in the same resource group. Assign tags to each resource.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A. B.B
Instead, create a resources group for each resource type. Assign tags to each resource
Note: 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.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-using-tagsThe proposed solution of placing all resources in the same resource group and assigning tags to each resource is a valid approach to reporting costs for each department in Azure.
By placing all resources in the same resource group, the company can easily manage and monitor the usage and costs of their resources in a centralized location. Resource groups also provide a logical grouping for resources that share a common lifecycle and are typically deployed and managed together. This can simplify management and reduce the risk of errors caused by manual intervention.
Assigning tags to each resource can further help to categorize resources based on departmental ownership and usage. Azure tags are name-value pairs that can be applied to resources to logically organize them into categories. Once tags are applied, the company can then use Azure's cost management and billing features to create custom cost reports that display costs broken down by department.
Therefore, the proposed solution does meet the goal of providing a consolidated view for cost reporting that displays cost broken down by department. Hence, the answer is A. Yes.
