You use Azure Resource Manager templates to deploy virtual machines and need to automatically disable unused Windows features during provisioning. Which of the following should you use?

Azure Automation State Configuration (DSC) is the correct choice because it allows you to define the desired state of your Windows virtual machines, including which features should be enabled or disabled. When a VM is provisioned, DSC automatically applies this configuration, ensuring unused features are disabled. Device compliance policies in Microsoft Intune are for managing mobile devices and endpoints, not for configuring features on Azure VMs during provisioning. Application security groups are used for network security, controlling inbound and outbound traffic to network interfaces, not for managing OS features. Azure Advisor provides recommendations for optimizing Azure resources but does not directly configure them.
