Correct answer: Create an Azure Service Health alert, Create and configure an action group.
Why this is the answer
To receive an SMS alert for scheduled Azure maintenance, you need to configure two key components. First, create an Azure Service Health alert. Azure Service Health provides personalized guidance and support when issues in Azure services affect you, including planned maintenance. Configuring an alert here allows you to specify the services and regions you want to monitor for health events, including scheduled maintenance. Second, create and configure an action group. An action group defines the actions to be taken when an alert is triggered. This is where you specify the SMS recipient(s) for the alert. The Service Health alert will then trigger the action group, sending the SMS notification. "Enable Azure Security Center" is incorrect because Security Center focuses on threat protection and security posture management, not service health notifications. "Create and configure an Azure Monitor alert rule" is incorrect because while Azure Monitor is for general monitoring, Azure Service Health is the specific and dedicated service for platform-level health events like scheduled maintenance.
