Answer: Restore to a new Azure VM.
The correct answer is C: 'Restore to a new Azure VM.' Restoring to a new Azure VM ensures that you are not using the compromised VM and reduces the risk of re-infection. Restoring to an existing VM within the subscription (option B) or an on-premises device (option D) is not recommended as it could lead to further spread of the ransomware. Deleting the infected VM first (option A) is also not safe because the compromised system might still be accessible and could potentially re-infect the restored VM.
