Answer: C

Explanation:

For the customer requiring a caching tier that offers extremely low-latency and persistent storage, NVMe Storage Class Memory (SCM) (Option C) is the ideal technology. NVMe SCM provides the performance characteristics of DRAM with the persistence of traditional storage, making it suitable for caching applications where ultra-low latency is crucial. NVMe SCM also supports capacities exceeding 500GB, which aligns with the customer’s requirement.

This technology is particularly advantageous in environments where quick access to data is critical, such as in financial services or real-time analytics applications. It bridges the gap between volatile DRAM and slower NAND SSDs, providing a highly responsive and durable storage solution.
