Answer: A

Explanation:

You use cscfg file to define various settings related to your cloud application (in ConfigurationSettings section). Like app.config file, you get to define other things (e.g.number of instances of your cloud application) in the cscfg file. You could change the settings in a cscfg file on the fly using either the portal or Service Management API without having to repackage and redeploy the application.

Scenario: After the initial deployment, any changes to the business logic of the Web API must cause minimal downtime to the web application in the production environment.
