Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Partition Count
Why this is correct
Partition count determines consumer parallelism and cannot be easily changed after creation in standard tiers.
- ✗
Service Bus Lock Duration
Why it's wrong here
Lock duration is a Service Bus queue property, not an Event Hubs setting.
- ✗
Event Grid Webhook Handshake Timeout
Why it's wrong here
Webhook timeouts relate to Event Grid, not Event Hubs streaming capacity.
- ✓
Throughput Units (TUs) or Processing Units (PUs)
Why this is correct
TUs govern ingress and egress throughput limits for Standard/Premium tiers.
- ✓
Message Retention Period
Why this is correct
Retention period determines how long data remains available for consumer replay.
