Selected Answer: D
few repeated Queries. in this case elastic cache will have to reach to the database to get the information which defeats the purpose of Elasticache

Selected Answer: D
very bad wording used in this question ; because of "with extremely few repeated queries" which basically means "with a lot of different queries" Elasticache won't help

what does this even mean? "...with extremely few repeated queries." -> English grammar is aborrant in these questions and they're artificially creating phrases they think makese sense!! But if they are TRYING to ask prevent the repeated queries from hitting the database- then Elasticache with lazy loading will do the trick the first query will take a hit to the database but the repeated queries will be returned from the cache Feels like (B)

B Elasticache is the best solution to "handle high-volume read requests with extremely few repeated queries." Note that it is extremely few repeated queries. As per this link, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/mem-ug/Strategies.html, the lazy loading strategy fits this requirement
