   A company runs a Windows Server 2022 VM in the West US region. The VM is used for a batch processing workload that runs for 30 minutes each night. The VM currently uses a Standard_D2s_v3 size with a 128 GB premium SSD OS disk. The workload is CPU-intensive and the VM's CPU consistently peaks at 100% during the batch. The company wants to improve performance without increasing the number of VMs. You need to change the VM's compute resources. What should you do?

   • AChange the VM's disk caching to ReadOnly on the OS disk.
   • BResize the VM to a Standard_D4s_v3 size.
   • CAttach an additional premium SSD data disk to the VM.
