Answer: A

Explanation:

For a high-performance database environment, scale-out storage (Option A) is the recommended solution. Scale-out storage architectures allow for the expansion of storage capacity and performance by adding more nodes to the storage cluster. This approach provides linear scalability, enabling the environment to grow as the database’s demands increase. It is particularly effective for high-performance workloads because it balances the load across multiple nodes, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring consistent performance.

Scale-out storage also supports high availability and resilience, which are critical for maintaining uptime and reliability in database environments that require rapid data access and processing.
