Correct answer: Virtual WAN Basic does not support hub-to-hub transit or secured virtual hubs; to get Standard features you must create a new Virtual WAN (Standard) and migrate your hubs and connections to it—there is no in-place SKU upgrade..
Why this is the answer
The correct answer accurately states that Virtual WAN Basic does not support advanced features like hub-to-hub transit or Secured Virtual Hubs (Azure Firewall integration). To gain these capabilities, you must deploy a new Virtual WAN with the Standard SKU and then migrate your existing hubs and connections to it. There is no direct in-place upgrade path from Basic to Standard. The incorrect options are misleading: An in-place upgrade from Virtual WAN Basic to Standard is not supported, making the second option false. Virtual WAN Basic and Standard are not functionally identical; Standard offers significant additional features, disproving the third option. Standard SKU provides more than just higher throughput; hub-to-hub transit and secured hubs are exclusive to Standard and are not available in Basic, even as preview features, making the fourth option incorrect.
