Following is a sample result from a recently completed load test. Based on the information provided, which of the following would be the BEST recommendation?

Simply documenting the test result as a benchmark is insufficient if the results reveal a resource bottleneck or performance issue that requires remediation.

Downsizing CPU and memory assignments would further constrain available compute resources and would not address a storage-related performance issue identified in the test.

Decreasing assigned storage capacity would reduce available space, which would worsen a high storage utilization problem rather than resolve it.

Storage compression reduces the physical space consumed by data, directly addressing high storage utilization identified in load test results without requiring data removal or a capacity reduction. This is the optimal recommendation when test results show storage as the constraining resource while CPU and memory metrics remain within acceptable ranges.
