An on-premises SMB share (Share1) must be accessible by a web app (webapp1) in your Azure subscription. Given webapp1 and a virtual network VNET1, what should you deploy to enable webapp1 to connect to Share1?

Correct answer: an Azure Virtual Network Gateway.
Why this is the answer
An Azure Virtual Network Gateway is the correct choice because it allows you to create a secure connection between your Azure virtual network (VNET1) and your on-premises network where Share1 resides. This connection, often a VPN Gateway or ExpressRoute, enables resources within VNET1, including webapp1, to access on-premises resources like SMB shares as if they were on the same network. Azure Application Gateway is a Layer 7 load balancer and web traffic manager; it does not establish connectivity to on-premises networks. Azure AD Application Proxy provides secure remote access to on-premises web applications for external users, but it's not designed for Azure services to access on-premises file shares.
