Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Disk I/O latency
Monitoring CPU and I/O wait times helps identify if the hardware can support the current query volume.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Total number of users on the network
Why it's wrong here
Total users on the network does not accurately reflect database load.
- ✓
Disk I/O latency
Why this is correct
High latency indicates that storage is a bottleneck for performance.
- ✓
CPU utilization
Why this is correct
High CPU usage is a clear indicator that the database needs more processing power.
- ✗
Number of open database connections
Why it's wrong here
While useful, connections aren't as direct a capacity indicator as CPU and I/O latency.
- ✗
Server uptime
Why it's wrong here
Uptime is a reliability metric, not a performance capacity metric.
