The solution presented in the scenario, which involves creating a resource group for each resource type and assigning tags to each resource group, can meet the goal of providing a consolidated view for cost reporting.

Resource groups in Azure are logical containers for resources deployed in Azure, and they are used to manage and organize resources in a more structured manner. By creating a separate resource group for each resource type, the company can group and manage all their Azure app services and Azure SQL databases efficiently.

Tags in Azure are name-value pairs that can be assigned to resources to enable organizations to logically organize and categorize resources in their Azure environment. Tags can be used to categorize resources based on various attributes such as cost center, department, and project. By assigning tags to each resource group, the company can gain better visibility and control over their Azure resources and can easily track costs based on department or any other attribute they choose to assign.

In conclusion, the solution presented in the scenario can meet the goal of providing a consolidated view for cost reporting by using resource groups and tags in Azure to organize and categorize resources based on different attributes. Therefore, the answer is "A. Yes."
