BProvisioned capacity is set to zero
CThe table has no indexes

Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand burst capacity limits

    Burst capacity has a maximum limit based on unused capacity credits.

    If spike exceeds max burst capacity, excess requests are throttled.
  3. Final Answer:

    The spike exceeds the maximum burst capacity limit -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Spike > burst limit means burst not used fully [OK]
Quick Trick: Burst capacity has a maximum limit [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming zero provisioned capacity is common
  • Thinking indexes affect burst usage
  • Confusing encryption with burst usage
