Which indexing change most reduces write RU charges on a write-heavy container where only two fields are ever filtered?

  1. A Switch to a custom indexing policy that includes only those two paths (correct answer)
  2. B Enable analytical store
  3. C Increase provisioned throughput
  4. D Change consistency to Eventual

Shortcut: By default every property is indexed, and each indexed path adds write cost. Excluding unused paths (or including only the queried ones) directly lowers write RU charges.
