You are planning to create a virtual network that has a scale set that contains six virtual machines (VMs).
A monitoring solution on a different network will need access to the VMs inside the scale set.
You need to define public access to the VMs.
Solution: Deploy a standalone VM that has a public IP address to the virtual network.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A. B.A
The proposed solution of deploying a standalone VM with a public IP address to the virtual network does not meet the goal of providing public access to the VMs inside the scale set.
Deploying a standalone VM with a public IP address to the virtual network will only provide public access to that specific VM, and not to the VMs inside the scale set. This is because a standalone VM is not part of the scale set and does not have any association with the other VMs in the scale set.
To provide public access to the VMs inside the scale set, you need to define public IP addresses for the load balancer that is associated with the scale set. By default, a scale set is associated with an Azure load balancer, which distributes incoming traffic across the VM instances in the set. By assigning a public IP address to the load balancer, you can enable public access to the VMs inside the scale set.
Therefore, the correct solution to meet the goal is to assign a public IP address to the load balancer associated with the scale set, rather than deploying a standalone VM.
