Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗

Why it's wrong here
Azure OpenAI does not offer a serverless deployment model; it uses standard and provisioned models.
- ✗
Standard deployment
Why it's wrong here
Standard deployments use shared infrastructure and do not guarantee dedicated throughput.
- ✓
Provisioned (PTU) deployment
Why this is correct
Provisioned deployments allocate dedicated capacity measured in Provisioned Throughput Units.

Batch deployment
Why it's wrong here
Batch deployments are designed for asynchronous, high-latency bulk processing rather than real-time guaranteed throughput.
