Which Azure SQL Database feature should an architect recommend to recover from a regional outage with RTO ≤ 1 hour and RPO ≤ 5 seconds for a critical OLTP workload?

AActive geo-replication or auto-failover groups (cross-region readable secondaries)
BAzure DNS failover only
CSnowball-style offline backups
DSingle-region with no cross-region replication
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Active geo-replication or auto-failover groups (cross-region readable secondaries)
Active geo-replication + auto-failover groups give near-zero RPO across regions (per AZ-305 §2 data protection + §3 BCDR). The others can't hit those targets.
