Ensure port 445 is open: The SMB protocol requires TCP port 445 to be open; connections will fail if port 445 is blocked.

Explanation: To map a drive to an Azure file share, the SMB protocol is used, which requires port 445 to be open. Port 80 and 443 are used for HTTP and HTTPS traffic, respectively, and are not used for SMB file sharing. Port 3389 is used for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) traffic, and is not related to file sharing.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C - 445.
