2. B. A spending cap that Azure Advisor attaches to each individual resource when it detects low utilization, stopping idle resources automatically at the end of each month 💬 B
3. C. A budget on its own, because reaching a budget automatically stops all resource consumption in its scope 💬 C
4. D. A budget with an alert threshold, plus the budget's automation configured to suspend or modify the target resources when the threshold is reached ✓ D
