Okay, this one is a pain the a$$. My initial though was NNY but that is wrong. I'd go with YNY now. Somebody will have to do a better explanation on why the second is Yes for me to change that answer.
1. Azure Files is an example of infrastructure as a service. We can see this by following this link:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/what-is-azure/iaas/?OCID=AID2200277_SEM_4f474f37105d10e7fe342e7811e71afe:G:s&ef_id=4f474f37105d10e7fe342e7811e71afe:G:s&msclkid=4f474f37105d10e7fe342e7811e71afe#products
And going to the storage services link. We can see that yes, Azure Files is considered as Infrastructure as a Service.
I am sticking with N as DNS server on an AZURE VM is Infrasturcture. You can google and you'll see references also to DNS set up as IaaS. You google DNS PaaS and you get zero, zilch.
Microsoft Intune is totally Software as a Service. If you studied for the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals then this a give me.

Azure file is STORAGE thus Infrastructure Component...Offered as a Service ! So IaaS.
Iaas = VMs a wrong shortcut. Infrastructure encompasses Network, Storage, Compute, Infrastructure Security and Remote accesses.
It's even the first line :
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that offers essential compute, storage, and networking resources on demand, on a pay-as-you-go basis. IaaS is one of the four types of cloud services, along with software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and serverless.

Fully managed. Azure file shares can be created without the need to manage hardware or an OS. This means you don't have to deal with patching the server OS with critical security upgrades or replacing faulty hard

I mean to say Storage accounts are PAAS. Storage which is Disk is an IAAS.

A DNS running in a VM is IaaS. Running in a VM is the key. Azure won't upgrade or maintain the software installed in the VM. You do it.

Azure Files is not an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Azure Files is a cloud-based file sharing service provided by Microsoft Azure, which falls under the category of Platform as a Service (PaaS).

2)Yes, that is correct. A DNS server running on Azure virtual machines (VMs) is an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

I think your interpretation of the line you quoted is incorrect: not everything that's Compute or Netwoking is IaaS. Services under Serverless Computing for example, are computing services but they are PaaS. Same thing with Container Services or VM Scale Sets.
And to quote Microsoft: "Like IaaS, PaaS includes infrastructure—servers, storage, and networking—but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more."
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/what-is-paas/
However - all Storage services do indeed appear as IaaS (look the image):

First, Azure Files is a PaaS (platform-as-a-service) offering provided by Microsoft Azure that is built on top of Azure Storage. It provides fully managed file shares over a protocol.
Then, a DNS on a VM is a IAAS, because you need to configure and develop everything. It is not a service as an app..
=> NNY

It must be NNY
Azure Files are an example of PaaS (Platform as a Service) in Azure. Azure Files provides fully managed file shares in the cloud that can be accessed and used by different applications, platforms, and operating systems.
DNS server that runs on an Azure Virtual Machine is an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), since the VM provides the infrastructure for hosting the DNS server, and the user is responsible for managing and maintaining the underlying operating system and software.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) typically provides higher-level services, such as application frameworks, databases, and development tools, where the underlying infrastructure is abstracted away from the user, and the provider handles the management and maintenance of the platform.

Azure files is PaaS.
