Hot Area:

Suggested Answer:
Box 1: General purpose v2 with Hot access tier for blobs
Note:
* All the data written to storage must be retained for five years.
* Data access charges must be minimized
Hot tier has higher storage costs, but lower access and transaction costs.
Incorrect:
Not Archive: Lowest storage costs, but highest access, and transaction costs.
Not Cool: Lower storage costs, but higher access and transaction costs.
Box 2: Storage account resource lock
As an administrator, you can lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. The lock overrides any permissions the user might have.
