ASQL Server Always On Availability Groups extended to an Azure VM-hosted replica (hybrid AG)
BSingle on-prem SQL with no DR
CAzure Cache for Redis
DAzure DNS failover only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. SQL Server Always On Availability Groups extended to an Azure VM-hosted replica (hybrid AG)
SQL Always On AG with an Azure-hosted replica is the canonical hybrid-DR pattern (per AZ-305 §3 SQL DR). The other options lack DR semantics.
