Which blade should you use?

Answer options

• A. Metrics
• B. Customer insights
• C. Monitor
• D. Advisor

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Advisor, as it provides recommendations for optimizing costs, including identifying underutilized resources. Metrics and Monitor focus on performance and usage statistics but do not specifically provide cost-saving recommendations. Customer insights is not relevant to assessing the performance or cost of virtual machines.
