Locally redundant storage

B.
Geo-redundant storage

C.
Zone-redundant storage

D.
Read-only geo-redundant storage

Explanation:
Introducing Read-only Access to Geo Redundant Storage (RA-GRS):
RA-GRS allows you to have higher read availability for your storage account by providing “read only” access to
the data replicated to the secondary location. Once you enable this feature, the secondary location may be
used to achieve higher availability in the event the data is not available in the primary region. This is an “opt-in”
feature which requires the storage account be geo-replicated.

      No, should be RA-GRS

      Think about this:
      If one or more Storage services are temporarily unavailable at one or more regions, there are two options for you to consider.

      Options 1. Wait for service back, you can’t do anything and the Data is NOT readable in secondary region if using GRS.

      Option 2: Copy data from secondary

      If you chose Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) (recommended) for your storage accounts, you will have read access to your data from the secondary region. You can use tools such as AzCopy, Azure PowerShell, and the Azure Data Movement library to copy data from the secondary region into another storage account in an unimpacted region, and then point your applications to that storage account for both read and write availability

      If you desire immediate access to your data, please consider Option 2.

      And RS-GRS is recommended by Microsoft even it’s little expensive than GRS.
