How to approach this question

Match the requirement 'secondary geographic region' to the correct redundancy acronym.

Full Answer

C.Geo-redundant storage (GRS)✓ Correct

Geo-redundant storage (GRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region using LRS. It then copies your data asynchronously to a single physical location in a secondary region.

Common mistakes

Choosing ZRS. ZRS protects against data center failure within one region, but not a full regional disaster.
