Because the query is evaluating the resource utilization, which may require querying multiple partitions simultaneously.

This question is as clear as mud. I'm going to go with 'C) as a cross-partition query' and hope for the best. At least I'll have a 33% chance of being right!

I bet the answer is 'B) as a parallel cross-partition query'. That's the only option that mentions 'parallel', which seems like the best way to handle a query without a partition key.

I'm not sure, but it makes sense that a parallel cross-partition query would be the most efficient way to handle it.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe it's a parallel cross-partition query? That would allow the query to be executed across multiple partitions simultaneously for better performance.

I think it's going to be a cross-partition query because the query doesn't mention the partition key. That means it needs to access data across multiple partitions.

This should be an in-partition query since the partition key is specified in the query. The data will be retrieved from a single partition, so it should be efficient.
