Answer: D

Explanation:

* Azure Table Storage can be useful for applications that must store large amounts of nonrelational data, and need additional structure for that data. Tables offer key-based access to unschematized data at a low cost for applications with simplified data-access patterns. While Azure Table Storage stores structured data without schemas, it does not provide any way to represent relationships between the data.

* As a solution architect/developer, consider using Azure Table Storage when:

/ Your application stores and retrieves large data sets and does not have complex relationships that require server-side joins, secondary indexes, or complex server-side logic.

/ You need to achieve a high level of scaling without having to manually shard your dataset.
