The correct answer is option C: From the Azure portal, configure the Advisor recommendations.

The Azure Advisor is a personalized cloud consultant that helps you optimize your Azure resources for high availability, security, performance, and cost. It analyzes your resource configuration and usage telemetry data to identify opportunities to improve your Azure environment.

To identify unattached disks that can be deleted, you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Azure portal and sign in to your Azure account.
  2. In the left navigation menu, click on the "Advisor" option under the "Monitoring + management" category.
  3. In the Advisor dashboard, select the "Cost" tab.
  4. Scroll down to the "Optimize unattached disks" recommendation and click on it.
  5. The recommendation will display a list of unattached disks that can be deleted. Review the list to ensure that the disks are no longer needed before deleting them.

Option A (From Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, view the Account Management properties) is incorrect because it only shows the properties of the storage account and not the attached disks to the virtual machines.

Option B (From Azure Cost Management, create a Cost Management report) is incorrect because it only shows cost-related information and does not provide details about unattached disks.

Option D (From Azure Cost Management, open the Optimizer tab and create a report) is incorrect because the Optimizer tab only provides recommendations for virtual machines and does not provide information about unattached disks.
