Which of the following is a characteristic of a multizone region in a disaster recovery policy?

Question

Options

• AThree or more availability zones
• BA single geographic location
• CApplication high availability
• DActive/active deployment on secondary zones

• A
  89% (16)
• B
  6% (1)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

A multizone region is defined by having three or more availability zones within a cloud provider's infrastructure, giving workloads redundancy across physically separate data centers within the same broader region. This is the architectural definition - the zone count is what makes a region "multizone."

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (single geographic location) is a partial truth that misleads - while zones in a region are geographically close, "single geographic location" describes a single zone or data center, not a multizone region.
• C (application high availability) is a benefit of using a multizone region, not a defining characteristic of the region itself.
• D (active/active deployment on secondary zones) describes a deployment strategy you might use within a multizone region, not a property of the region's definition.

Memory tip: Think of "multizone" as the container, not the contents. The region's characteristic is its structure (3+ zones); high availability and active/active are what you do with that structure, not what the region is.
