The correct Answer is C. The integrated cache in Azure Cosmos DB can be particularly useful for point reads, where frequently accessed data can be served from the cache, significantly reducing RU consumption for those specific operations. This can lead to cost savings, especially if your application performs a high volume of point reads on the same data. When dealing with point reads, the cache can be highly effective in reducing the number of RUs needed for frequently accessed items, as long as those items are cached and served as cache hits.
