Answer: C

Explanation:

If your storage account has GRS enabled, then your data is durable even in the case of a complete regional outage or a disaster in which the primary region isn’t recoverable.

Note: The recovery time objective (RTO) is the targeted duration of time and a service level within which a business process must be restored after a disaster (or disruption) in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity.

Incorrect Answers:

B: Azure Site Recovery would not protect against an Azure region failure.

Azure Site Recovery guarantees a two-hour Recovery Time Objective.
