The correct answer is D. Authentication/Authorization.

Explanation: When deploying a web application to Azure web app, you can control who can access the application using Authentication/Authorization settings. By default, Azure web app allows anonymous access to the application, but you can disable anonymous access to your application by configuring Authentication/Authorization settings.

To disable anonymous access to the WebApp1, follow these steps:

  1. In the Azure Portal, navigate to the WebApp1 you created and select it.
  2. In the left-hand menu, under Settings, select Authentication/Authorization.
  3. In the Authentication/Authorization settings, locate the Anonymous Authentication section.
  4. Toggle the switch to Off for Allow Anonymous Access.

Once you disable anonymous access, users will be required to authenticate with the application using credentials to access the web application.

Option A (Access control (IAM)) allows you to manage access to Azure resources by creating role assignments for users, groups, and applications.

Option B (Advanced Tools) provides access to additional tools for managing and troubleshooting Azure web apps.

Option C (Deployment credentials) allows you to authenticate with source control repositories when deploying your web application. It does not control access to the deployed application.
