So, because it is ZRS, and that does not support arhive tier, it cannot be moved to archive tier even though the questions mention the red-herring key-word "infrequently accessed" (which triggers feelings for archive tier). For no logically apparent reason Microsoft decided not to support archive tier in ZRS and unfortunately I have to remember that Microsoft "feature"?

Only storage accounts that are configured for LRS, GRS, or RA-GRS support moving blobs to the archive tier. The archive tier isn't supported for ZRS, GZRS, or RA-GZRS accounts. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview#archive-access-tier

Archive data is physically disconnected from the web, if it has to be zone-redundant then it needs to be online, so it cannot be archived.

correct. The archive tier for Blob Storage isn't currently supported for ZRS, GZRS, or RA-GZRS accounts. Unmanaged disks don't support ZRS or GZRS. General-purpose v2 storage accounts support the latest Azure Storage features and incorporate all of the functionality of general-purpose v1 and Blob storage accounts. General-purpose v2 accounts are recommended for most storage scenarios. General-purpose v2 accounts deliver the lowest per-gigabyte capacity prices for Azure Storage, as well as industry-competitive transaction prices. General-purpose v2 accounts support default account access tiers of hot or cool and blob level tiering between hot, cool, or archive.

Yup, the answer is correct Based on this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview?source=recommendations Only storage accounts that are configured for LRS, GRS, or RA-GRS support moving blobs to the archive tier. The archive tier isn't supported for ZRS, GZRS, or RA-GZRS accounts. For more information about redundancy configurations for Azure Storage, see Azure Storage redundancy.

Data in all tiers, including the Archive tier, is always copied from the primary to the secondary during geo-replication. The Archive tier for Blob Storage is currently supported for LRS, GRS, and RA-GRS accounts, but not for ZRS, GZRS, or RA-GZRS accounts. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-redundancy
