I think D) I01 is the best choice. High IOPS needed for SQL.

ST1 is for throughput, not for SQL. Definitely not that one.

GP2 is decent, but not ideal for business-critical apps.

I thought ST1 was more for throughput-intensive workloads, so I don't think it would be suitable for a business-critical SQL server.

I feel like GP3 is the newer option and could provide better performance, but I can't recall if it’s specifically recommended for SQL servers.

I remember practicing a question about EBS types, and I think I chose I01 for high IOPS, but I’m not confident if that’s necessary for SQL.

I think GP2 might be a good choice since it offers a balance of price and performance, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best for a critical SQL server.
