Answer: E

Explanation:

The best size for a pool depends on the aggregate resources needed for all databases in the pool.

This involves determining the following:

– Maximum resources utilized by all databases in the pool (either maximum DTUs or maximum vCores

depending on your choice of resourcing model).

– Maximum storage bytes utilized by all databases in the pool.

Note: Elastic pools enable the developer to purchase resources for a pool shared by multiple databases to accommodate unpredictable periods of usage by individual databases. You can configure resources for the pool based either on the DTU-based purchasing model or the vCore-based purchasing model.
