Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Detailed Explanation
Azure Policy can enforce a Deny (or Append/audit) effect that blocks deployment of disallowed resource types or SKUs -- for example, denying creation of high-cost VM sizes -- making it the correct control for limiting which high-cost resources can be provisioned. Tags are free-form key/value metadata (such as ' Application: X ' ) that can be applied across resource types and resource groups, and Cost Management + Billing can filter and group cost data by tag, making tags the correct mechanism for grouping resources by application in cost reports. Azure Budgets are configured in Cost Management to track actual or forecasted spend against a threshold and trigger alerts, which is exactly monitoring resource usage/spend, not preventing deployment. Locks (ReadOnly/CanNotDelete) prevent accidental modification or deletion but do not control cost; management groups organize subscriptions hierarchically but do not directly limit resource costs or group cost data by application.
