I feel like using an X.509 certificate could work, but I can't recall if it's specifically for access tokens in this context.

I think we practiced a similar question where we used managed identities instead of certificates. That might be a better approach here.

I remember something about using certificates for authentication, but I'm not sure if it's the right method for obtaining an access token.

I definitely remember that there are multiple ways to authenticate with Azure, but I’m unsure if this solution is the most efficient one.

This seems like a tricky question. I'm not sure which option is the safest, but I think I'll go with C since it mentions creating a non-production test environment. That seems like the most controlled and responsible way to test the exploit.
