C.Azure SQL Database Hyperscale
D.Azure SQL Managed Instance

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

SQL Server on an Azure VM

SQL on a VM provides host OS and engine-version control. Managed Instance and SQL Database do not grant OS administration; Hyperscale changes storage architecture, not that control. PostgreSQL changes the engine. Source guide: PDF page 22-23.
