Which statement about Bounded Staleness is accurate?

  1. A Reads may lag writes by a configured number of versions or time interval (correct answer)
  2. B It is identical to Eventual consistency
  3. C It guarantees zero lag
  4. D It is only available in single-region accounts

Shortcut: Bounded Staleness lets you bound lag by K versions or T seconds, giving a predictable staleness ceiling that is stronger than Session but cheaper than Strong.
