Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
If you underprovision (by specifying too few RU/s), Cosmos DB will start throttling performance. Once throttling begins, requests will be asked to retry later when hopefully there are available resources to satisfy it. If an application makes too many attempts to retry a throttled request, the request could be aborted.
