A. B.Correct Answer: B
When you decide to use direct assignment, both the personal desktop host pool and a specific session host must be assigned to the users before they can connect to their personal desktop.
If the users are assigned only to a host pool without assigning a session host, they will not be able to access resources.
In Direct assignment, the users are assigned a session host and will only access that session host for future logins.

The given statement is true.
In Azure Virtual Desktop, a personal host pool is a collection of virtual machines (VMs) that are assigned to a specific user or group of users. When using direct assignment, users are assigned only to a specific host pool, and they always connect to that host pool every time they log in.
In contrast, when using dynamic host pooling, users are assigned to a session host, rather than a host pool. In this case, the system assigns the user to an available session host from the pool each time they log in.
Therefore, in a personal host pool with direct assignment, users will always use the same set of session hosts every time they log in. This can be useful in scenarios where users require a dedicated set of resources or applications every time they log in.
In summary, the statement is true, and users in an Azure virtual desktop personal host pool with direct assignment will use any available session hosts each time they log in.
