A company uses Azure regions on different continents so an application can fail over if one geography experiences a major outage. Which cloud benefit is being used?
A.Scalability
Scalability is about handling load changes, not surviving regional disasters.
B.Agility
Agility is speed of provisioning.
C.Disaster recovery through geo-distribution
Cross-region failover is exactly cloud-enabled disaster recovery. Correct.
D.Elasticity
Elasticity is automatic scaling with demand.
Why this answer
Geo-distribution — deploying across multiple regions — provides disaster recovery: if one region fails, workloads can continue elsewhere. Cloud makes multi-region DR affordable compared to building secondary datacenters.
