Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 52

When provisioning an Azure Cosmos DB account, which feature provides redundancy within an Azure region?

Answer options

• A. multi-master replication
• B. Availability Zones
• C. the strong consistency level
• D. automatic failover

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Availability Zones, as they provide high availability and redundancy by distributing resources across different physical locations within an Azure region. The other options do not specifically address regional redundancy; for example, A pertains to replication strategies, C deals with data consistency, and D relates to failover processes but not specifically to redundancy within a region.
