Correct answer: No.
Why this is the answer
No, this solution does not meet the requirement. While Azure App Service is a PaaS offering, Azure virtual machines (VMs) are an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution. IaaS gives you more control over the operating system and installed software, like SQL Server in this case, but it also means you are responsible for managing those components. To meet the "only PaaS" requirement for the database, you would need to use a PaaS database offering such as Azure SQL Database or Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL, where Microsoft manages the underlying infrastructure and operating system.
