Correct answer: A Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension.
Why this is the answer
A Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension is the correct choice because it allows you to define the desired state of your virtual machines, including software installations like NGINX, and automatically apply and maintain that state across all VMs in a scale set. This ensures consistency and automates configuration. Deployment Center in Azure App Service is for deploying web applications, not for configuring software on VMs in a scale set. The New-AzConfigurationAssignment cmdlet is used for assigning Azure Policy guest configurations, which is a different mechanism than directly installing software via DSC. A Microsoft Intune device configuration profile is for managing mobile devices and endpoints, not for configuring Azure VMs.
