Look for 'run continuously' and '3 years'. What do you call it when you commit to something long-term for a discount?

Full Answer

C.Azure Reservations✓ Correct
Azure Reservations
Azure Reservations help you save money by committing to one-year or three-year plans for multiple products. Committing allows you to get a discount on the resources you use, which can significantly reduce costs for workloads that run continuously.

Common mistakes

Choosing Spot VMs. Spot VMs offer massive discounts but provide no guarantee of uptime, so they cannot be used for critical 24/7 workloads.
