What action meets the goal of viewing creation dates of resources in RG1?

The action of clicking "Deployments" from the RG1 (Resource Group 1) blade is the correct choice for viewing the creation dates of resources within that specific resource group. When you navigate to the "Deployments" section of a resource group in Azure, it provides a detailed history of all deployment activities, including the timestamps when resources were created. This history includes information about updates, modifications, and the sequence of deployment events, making it an excellent source for tracking creation dates.

This option is directly related to the Azure interface and the management of resource groups, allowing users to view and manage the resources effectively. It streamlines the process of auditing and monitoring the lifecycle of resources within the resource group.

The other options do not directly provide a view of resource creation dates within a specific resource group. Checking resource providers from the subscriptions blade pertains to managing which services are available within a subscription, while using PowerShell to extract data involves scripting and may not provide a straightforward visual display of creation dates without additional commands. Lastly, checking programmatic deployment on the subscription may provide insights into deployment methods but does not directly relate to the creation dates of resources in a specific resource group.
