The correct choice is determined by the exact service boundary and operational requirement stated in the scenario., Why C is Correct: Force the query execution plan for plan 1220917. is related to operational monitoring or tuning, but it must match the exact signal needed: query history, resource utilization, wait/blocking detail, or automatic remediation. The scenario asks for: You view a plan summary that shows the duration in milliseconds of each execution of query 1178902 as shown in the following exhibit: What should you do to ensure that the query uses the execution plan which executes in the least amount of time? That makes Force the query execution plan for plan 1220917. the option that satisfies the required Azure SQL layer and operational outcome., Why A is Wrong: Force the query execution plan for plan 1221065. is related to operational monitoring or tuning, but it must match the exact signal needed: query history, resource utilization, wait/blocking detail, or automatic remediation. It is useful in other troubleshooting paths, but this scenario requires a more specific monitoring or optimization feature., Why B is Wrong: Run the DBCC FREEPROCCACHE command. is related to operational monitoring or tuning, but it must match the exact signal needed: query history, resource utilization, wait/blocking detail, or automatic remediation. It would produce a different operational signal than the one needed to investigate, alert, or tune the workload in this question., Why D is Wrong: Disable parameter sniffing. is related to operational monitoring or tuning, but it must match the exact signal needed: query history, resource utilization, wait/blocking detail, or automatic remediation. It is useful in other troubleshooting paths, but this scenario requires a more specific monitoring or optimization feature., ]
