If a DAX cache miss occurs for a GetItem request, what is the next step?
ADAX queries DynamoDB, caches the result, then returns it
BDAX returns a null response immediately
CDAX retries the cache lookup three times before failing

  3. Final Answer:

    DAX queries DynamoDB, caches the result, then returns it -> Option A
