A: Use Firestore and ensure that the PersistenceEnabled ***** option is set to true. Cloud Firestore is a NoSQL document database that lets you easily store, sync, and query data for your mobile and web apps - at global scale. To use offline persistence, you don't need to make any changes to the code that you use to access Cloud Firestore data. With offline persistence enabled, the Cloud Firestore client library automatically manages online and offline data access and synchronizes local data when the device is back online.

Firestore meets all the requirements for your physician portal app: Offline Access: With the PersistenceEnabled option, Firestore caches data locally, allowing the app to function during intermittent internet connectivity. Scalability: Firestore is designed to scale automatically with your application's needs. Strong Consistency: Firestore provides strong consistency for read and write operations. Multi-Region Replication: Firestore supports multi-region replication, ensuring high availability and resilience.

Selected Answer: A

A: Firestore supports offline data persistence. This feature caches a copy of the Firestore data that your app is actively using, so your app can access the data when the device is offline. You can write, read, listen to, and query the cached data. When the device comes back online, Firestore synchronizes any local changes made by your app to the Firestore backend. https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/manage-data/enable-offline

correct answer is C! Firestore may not provide the same level of strong consistency and multi-region replication as Cloud Spanner. :)

A. An app with intermitted internet access meaning it does not HAVE to sync with the live data source must mean Firestore in Datastore mode. The only option that mentions Firestore is A. https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/enable-offline
