To automatically apply updates to VM1 and VM2 and add any new Windows Server 2019 virtual machines to Update1, you should include a dynamic group query in Update1.

Option A, "a security group that has a Membership type of Assigned," is incorrect because assigned membership means that members are added manually, which would not meet the requirement to automatically add new virtual machines to Update1.

Option B, "a security group that has a Membership type of Dynamic Device," is incorrect because Dynamic Device membership is used for registering devices that meet a specific set of criteria, such as a device type or version, but does not automatically apply updates or add new virtual machines.

Option D, "a Kusto query language query," is also incorrect because Kusto is a query language used to analyze large data sets in Azure, and it is not directly related to managing updates on virtual machines.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, "a dynamic group query." A dynamic group query allows you to define a set of criteria for virtual machines that should be included in the group, such as all virtual machines with the Windows Server 2019 operating system, and any new virtual machines that meet that criteria will automatically be added to the group. By including this dynamic group query in Update1, you can ensure that updates are automatically applied to VM1 and VM2 and any new virtual machines that meet the defined criteria.
