Answer: A

Explanation:

Azure Data Lake Storage is optimized performance for parallel analytics workloads

A key mechanism that allows Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to provide file system performance at object storage scale and prices is the addition of a hierarchical namespace. This allows the collection of objects/ files within an account to be organized into a hierarchy of directories and nested subdirectories in the same way that the file system on your computer is organized.
