      4 kb is the read capacity unit. In this question, we are writing, so we should use the write capacity unit for calculation, which is 1 kb. Thus we need 2 units per write operation.

      2 units X 10 million operations / 3600 seconds = 5556 operations per seconds that need to be provisioned

      The right answer is C.

    C
    10 million/h = 10000000/h
    => 10000000/3600 => 2778/sec

    => item size 1.5kb => 2kb (rounded up )
    Capacity = 2778 * 2 = 5555.5 => 5556

    so C is the answer.
