Correct answer: No.
Why this is the answer
Deploying virtual machines to two or more resource groups does not ensure availability if a single data center fails. Resource groups are logical containers for Azure resources and do not provide any fault tolerance or high availability across physical data centers. A resource group can contain resources from multiple regions, but placing VMs in different resource groups within the same data center still leaves them vulnerable to a data center outage. To ensure availability during a data center failure, virtual machines must be deployed across multiple Azure regions or Availability Zones, which are physically separate locations within an Azure region.
