Why each option

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) uses strategically placed cache servers to store copies of data closer to users, improving performance and availability.

AObject-based storage

Object-based storage stores data as objects in a flat structure, not primarily as cached copies in a distributed network for delivery optimization.

BFile-based storage

File-based storage organizes data into files and folders, typically accessed via network file systems, and is not inherently designed as a content caching and delivery architecture.

CDatabase

A database is a structured system for storing, managing, and retrieving organized data, not a system for distributing cached copies of content for performance.

DCDNCorrect

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is an architecture that uses a distributed network of servers to cache copies of content at various geographic locations, delivering it to users from the closest server to reduce latency and improve load times.
