Answer: A

Explanation:

There are a number of resource constraints that can cause the streaming pipeline to slow down.

The watermark delay metric can rise due to:

✑ Not enough processing resources in Stream Analytics to handle the volume of input events.

✑ Not enough throughput within the input event brokers, so they are throttled.

✑ Output sinks are not provisioned with enough capacity, so they are throttled. The possible solutions vary widely based on the flavor of output service being used.
