Answer: A

Explanation:

Windows 365 uses both default and custom operating system images to automatically create the virtual Cloud PCs that you provide to your end users. The default images are available from the gallery in Microsoft Intune as a part of creating your provisioning policy. You can also upload custom images that you create.

Image requirements

Both marketplace and custom images must meet the following requirements:

* Windows 10 Enterprise version 21H2 or later.

* Windows 11 Enterprise 21H2 or later.

(not C) * Generation 2 images.

Note

We recently made the change to generation 2 (Gen2) virtual machine images. Newly created custom images must be Gen2. Existing custom images uploaded based on generation 1 will remain active.

* Generalized VM image.

* Single Session VM images (multi-session isn’t supported).

* No recovery partition. For information about how to remove a recovery partition, see the Windows Server command: delete partition.

(A) *-> Default 64-GB OS disk size. The OS disk size is automatically adjusted to the size specified in SKU description of the Windows 365 license.

A custom image must also meet the following extra requirements:

Exist in an Azure subscription.

* Is stored as a managed image in Azure.

* Storing a managed image on Azure incurs storage costs. However, customers can delete the managed image from Azure once they’ve successfully uploaded it as a Custom Image to Microsoft Intune.
