Explanation

Standard push type (C) costs the most in this scenario because it uses a provisioned throughput billing model, where capacity and bandwidth are pre-allocated and charged at a premium rate regardless of actual usage - a poor fit for a company with modest, predictable static file storage needs and no performance requirements. Option B (Performance Plus) offers the highest raw performance tier and does carry a high per-unit rate, but its total cost for this use case is lower than the Standard push type's provisioned overhead. Option A (Performance type) similarly provides high IOPS at elevated rates, yet does not incur the same provisioning surcharge, keeping it below the Standard push cost for 5TB. Option D (Standard Plus) is an enhanced standard tier with moderate pricing and would be a reasonable middle-ground choice. For exam takers: remember that "push" or provisioned models charge you for reserved resources up front - the word "standard" in the name can be misleading, because guaranteed-allocation billing often costs more than even higher-tier on-demand options for workloads without strict performance demands.
