This is correct. Look at this from the docs: "The archive access tier has the lowest storage cost. But it has higher data retrieval costs compared to the hot and cool tiers. Data in the archive tier can take several hours to retrieve."

Hot : Frequent Cool : Infrequent (30 days) Archive : Rare (180 days) -> Data from archive tier can only be accessed by rehydrating the blob which may take up to several hours.

We can't use archive because data must be accessible. So: Box 1: Hot Box 2: Cold Box 3: Cold

Data in the archive tier can take several hours to retrieve. But here the question asks to retrieve data in 5 minutes, hence it should be Cool Tire. Given answer is correct.

Apart from the reason given by RajdeepRoy, it costs more to retrieve data from archived data and that would not be in line with the requirement of minimizing the cost.
