I practiced a similar question last week, and I think cyclosporine was the answer for increasing LDL.

Hydrochlorothiazide is usually associated with lowering blood pressure, but I can't recall if it affects LDL.

I feel like we covered this in class, and I want to say that amiodarone might have an effect on lipid levels too.

I think I remember something about cyclosporine potentially increasing LDL levels, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on entitlements to make sure I understand the different types of units used to measure them.

Option C looks interesting, but I'm not sure how much overhead it would add to manage the instance weights manually. Auto Scaling in option A seems like the cleanest solution if we can set it up properly.
