Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
We have two different sets of required permissions. VM1 and VM2 have the same permission requirements.
VM3 and VM4 have the same permission requirements.
A user-assigned managed identity can be assigned to one or many resources. By using user-assigned managed identities, we can create just two managed identities: one with the permission requirements for VM1 and VM2 and the other with the permission requirements for VM3 and VM4.
