  1. A A measure of CPU capacity
  2. B A capacity unit: 1 TU = 1 MB/s (or 1000 events/sec) ingress and 2 MB/s egress (correct answer)
  3. C A pricing tier
  4. D A partition count multiplier

Shortcut: One throughput unit allows ingress up to 1 MB/s or 1000 events/sec and egress up to 2 MB/s. Scale TUs to increase capacity. Premium uses Processing Units (PUs) with higher capacity per unit.
