I feel like the physical hardware management is definitely Microsoft's job, but I could be mixing it up with another topic we covered.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe it was about user account management being the user's responsibility, not Microsoft's.

Hmm, I'm going to have to go with D on this one. Microsoft's got to be in charge of the physical servers and hardware, otherwise how would they keep the cloud running?

Oh, this is a tough one. I'm going to go with B. The permissions for user data stored in Azure must be Microsoft's responsibility, since they're the ones hosting the data.
