HOTSPOT
You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. The volumes on Server1 are
configured as shown in the following table.
A new corporate policy states that backups must use Windows Azure Online Backup whenever
possible.
You need to identify which backup methods you must use to back up Server1. The solution must use
Windows Azure Online Backup whenever possible.
Which backup type should you identify for each volume?
To answer, select the appropriate backup type for each volume in the answer area.
Answer: 
Explanation:
Box 1: Windows Server Backup
Volume1 is NTFS and on a fixed disk, but Bitlocker is used.
Windows Azure Online Backup cannot backup volume that has Bitlocker.
Box 2: Windows Azure Online Backup
Volume2 is NTFS, on a fixed disk, and Bitlocker is not used.
Windows Azure Online Backup can be used.
Box 3: Windows Server Backup
Volume3 is not on a fixed disk. It is on a USB disk.Additionally bitlocker is used.
Windows Azure Online Backup cannot be used.
Box 4: Windows Server Backup
Volume3 is not on a fixed disk. It is on a USB disk.
Windows Azure Online Backup cannot be used.
Note: You can use Microsoft Azure Backup to back up content stored on fixed NTFS volumes. It
cannot be used in the following situations:
Volume is locked by BitLocker Drive Encryption. If BitLocker is enabled on the volume, the volume
must be unlocked before it can be backed up.
Drive type is not fixed.
Volume is not formatted with NTFS.
Volume is read-only.
Volume is not currently online.
Volume is on a network share.Azure Backup Overview

I think it’s

There is an argument here: http://www.aiotestking.com/microsoft/which-backup-type-should-you-identify-for-each-volume-2/
In nutshell the volume1 should be already unlocked when you start the server to start the azure backup. And bitlocker-unlocked drive can be backed up with Azure. If the server is tuned off, the volume is locked, but in that case the Azure backup cannot be use anyway.

Actually, you don’t need to unlock the volume as it’s already unlocked. If you think about it, you have a server with the bitlocker volume mounted and obviously you need this volume to be unlocked to write data to it. There is no use in locked volume on your server, so I think they implying that volume is unlocked as long as server up and running. So you’re right, answer – Azure, Azure, Windows, Windows.”

me three,
It’s also mentioned in the Azure Backup FAQ
Bitlocker protected volumes: The volume must be unlocked before the backup can occur.

The question didn’t state whether the drive was unlocked or not so we have to assume that the Bitlocker drive is locked which means the answer is correct
server backup
azure
server backup

why you have to assume the drive is locked?
i assume the drive is unlocked when the server is running. or what would you do with the locked disk in the server?
Also MS likes to use TPM. So in most cases the disk would be unlocked at startup.

Question says: “The solution must use Windows Azure Online Backup whenever possible.”.
You just have to unlock Volume 1 and Azure could be used in that case.

Zsedo is right. From Microsoft official preparation Course: “If BitLocker is enabled to protect your data files, it must be turned off for the software agent to back up your data files.” Concluding: is feasible. Remember the question was: “whenever possible”.

BitLocker-protected volume
Yes, but the volume must be unlocked before the backup can occur.
File System identification
Yes. NTFS is the only file system supported for this version of the online backup service.
Removable Media
No. The drive must report as fixed to be used a backup item source.
Read-only Volumes
No. The volume must be writable for the volume shadow copy service (VSS) to function.
Offline Volumes
No. The volume must be online for VSS to function.
Network share
No. The volume must be local to the server to be backed up using online backup.

It CAN back up bitlocker as long as it is unlocked

“Q11. What types of drives can I backup files and folders from?
A11. The following set of drives/volumes can’t be backup:
Removable Media: The drive must report as a fixed to be used a backup item source.
Read-only Volumes: The volume must be writable for the volume shadow copy service (VSS) to function.
Offline Volumes: The volume must be online for VSS to function.
Network share: The volume must be local to the server to be backed up using online backup.
Bitlocker protected volumes: The volume must be unlocked before the backup can occur.
File System Identification: NTFS is the only file system supported for this version of the online backup service.”
So Azure, Azure, Server, Server.
