Question

Hotspot Question You have an Azure SQL database. You are reviewing a slow performing query as shown in the following exhibit. Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Exhibits

Explanation

This is a hotspot question referencing an exhibit/graphic that was not provided in the prompt, making it impossible to evaluate the specific query execution plan details or determine the correct drop-down selections. Hotspot questions about slow-performing Azure SQL queries typically test knowledge of query execution plans, missing index recommendations, estimated vs. actual row counts, and query cost percentages - key indicators found in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or Azure Data Studio execution plans. Without the exhibit, the specific correct answers cannot be determined, but generally: high cost operators (like Table Scans or Hash Joins), missing index warnings (green text), and large discrepancies between estimated and actual rows indicate performance bottlenecks.
