Wait, isn't option A a bit off-topic for resilience testing?

I think C is more about disaster recovery than resilience testing.

I feel like option C could help us understand how the application behaves under stress, but I wonder if it really addresses the authentication layer specifically.

I’m a bit confused about option A. Engaging a security company seems more like a proactive measure rather than a resilience test.

I think option D sounds familiar from our practice questions about failover strategies. It seems like a solid way to test the database's resilience.

I remember we discussed resilience testing, but I'm not sure if shutting down VMs really tests the authentication layer effectively.

Okay, let me think this through. I know Microsoft 365 is a productivity suite, while Azure Virtual Desktop is a virtualization service. I'll focus on identifying the unique feature to Microsoft 365.

Okay, this one's got me thinking. I'd probably want to dig deeper and do a root cause analysis to really understand what's going on with the resource constraints. That seems like the best way to get to the heart of the problem.
