Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Block volume IOPS and Throughput MB/s
Why it's wrong here
Autonomous storage manages IOPS automatically based on storage TBs.
- ✗
Number of database threads and PGA memory limits
Why it's wrong here
Memory and threads are managed automatically by the autonomous service.
- ✗
RAM size in Gigabytes and CPU core clock speed
Why it's wrong here
RAM is automatically allocated based on OCPU selection, not specified manually.
- ✓
OCPU count and Storage size in Terabytes
Why this is correct
Autonomous Database capacity is defined by OCPUs and storage TBs.
