I was just about to say the same thing. Although, I have to admit, I did briefly consider option B) since it's the most general-purpose, but then I remembered that Cosmos DB has specific APIs for different use cases.

Haha, yeah, I hear you Billi. They could at least throw in a question about partitioning strategies or something. But hey, I'm not going to complain about an easy one. A) Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin is the answer, end of story.

Yep, that's right. The other options are for different types of databases, like B) for general NoSQL, C) for Cassandra, and D) for table storage. Gremlin is the way to go for graph.

I agree with Artie. Azure Cosmos DB is a multi-model database, so it supports different APIs for different use cases. For a graph database, you'd need to use the Gremlin API.

Well, you know how these certification exams like to throw in a few 'gotcha' questions. But I don't think this is one of them. Gremlin is the clear choice here. Although I must admit, I'd be a bit disappointed if this was the extent of the graph database knowledge they're testing.

Yep, no brainer. A) Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin is the way to go. Although I'm curious, do they have a specific reason for testing us on this? I mean, it's not exactly a groundbreaking concept, is it?

Hmm, this seems like a pretty straightforward question. The correct answer is obviously A) Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin, since Gremlin is the standard API for graph databases.

Hmm, I was a bit unsure at first, but now I'm convinced Kallie and 2 are right. The question is asking about a graph database, and Gremlin is the industry standard for that use case.

I agree with Kallie. The Gremlin API is designed specifically for graph databases, so that's the logical choice here. B, C, and D are for other types of NoSQL databases, not graph-oriented ones.

I think this is a straightforward question. The obvious answer is A) Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin. Gremlin is the standard query language for graph databases, and Cosmos DB provides a specific API for working with graph data.
