Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: Blob storage

Blob storage supports storage tiers

Note: Azure offers three storage tiers to store data in blob storage: Hot Access tier, Cool Access tier, and Archive tier. These tiers target data at different stages of its lifecycle and offer cost-effective storage options for different use cases.

Box 2: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)

Data in an Azure Storage account is always replicated three times in the primary region.

Azure Storage offers two options for how your data is replicated in the primary region:

– Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region.

– Locally redundant storage (LRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. LRS is the least expensive replication option, but is not recommended for applications requiring high availability.
