Selected Answer: A

In the given answers A seems to be right. When you resize the VM, vCPUs also get added. So the remaining thing is adding additional disks.

I do miss a proper answer, right now we have a machine with 800+ GB of RAM, DB is half of that and will be 560G in 1 year. There is no need to change VM, maybe just add disks, but there is no info regarding that in the question. Question with possible answers don`t make any sense.

SAP recommends that the RAM would be double the size of the data, as delta merge processes might take a lot of memory (potentially same as the data). that being said, I dont understand why adding additional disk might help with performance in this case...
