The solution must ensure that write and read operations on the items can be performed within the same transaction. What should you use to group the items?

Options

Alogical partitions
Bphysical partitions

Explanation

In Azure Cosmos DB, ACID transactions (multi-document, using stored procedures, triggers, or transactional batch APIs) are scoped to a single logical partition - meaning all items in the transaction must share the same partition key value. A logical partition is defined by a unique partition key value and holds all items with that value. Physical partitions are internal infrastructure managed by Cosmos DB. Databases and containers are organizational units, not the boundary for transactional consistency. Grouping items with the same partition key into the same logical partition is how you enable transactional operations across multiple items.
