Selected Answer: A

❌ Why other options are incorrect: B. Create a read replica ❌ Read replicas do not help with failover time. They are used for read scaling and DR. ❌ Failover to a read replica is not automatic — requires manual promotion. C. Enable Performance Insights ❌ Performance Insights helps with diagnostics, not failover handling or reduction. ❌ Does not reduce failover time — only helps analyze issues after they occur. D. Take regular automatic snapshots ❌ Snapshots are for backup and restore, not for improving availability or reducing failover time. ❌ Provides disaster recovery, not active failover capability.
