What happens when a regional resource is created in a multi-region location and that region goes down?
AResource remains available in other regions
BEdits can still be made to the resource
CResource is permanently lost
DService is degraded to zero availability
Explanation
Regional resources remain accessible as they're not housed in a single region, while the other options misrepresent multi-region stability.
