Answers
D.
Throughput Optimized hard disk drives (HDD)
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

General Purpose SSD storage is a cost-effective storage option that is ideal for a broad range of workloads running on medium-sized DB instances1.General Purpose storage is best suited for development and testing environments1.Since the database is primarily used for nightly batch processing, it does not require high I/O performance or low latency that Provisioned IOPS storage offers12.Magnetic storage and Throughput Optimized HDD are not recommended for new storage needs, and they have lower storage limits than General Purpose SSD and Provisioned IOPS SSD1. Therefore, General Purpose SSD storage meets the requirements most cost-effectively.
