✓ Correct answer

  • Coordinate sign-out or fence old writers, choose/reconcile the authoritative profile state and transfer users under a controlled procedure.

Profile continuity requires coordinated state and writers. A regional host design alone does not guarantee safe profile failover or failback. Option explanations: A. Delete both profile copies to force the users to start fresh.: That discards data rather than reconciling recovery state. B. Coordinate sign-out or fence old writers, choose/reconcile the authoritative profile state and transfer users under a controlled procedure.: Controlled write ownership avoids divergent copies and conflicts during recovery and failback. C. Treat Cloud Cache or replication as a guaranteed historical backup with zero loss.: Asynchronous replication can lose recent changes and is not historical protection. D. Allow both regions to overwrite each other’s profile copies continuously without coordination.: Competing writes can create conflicts or corruption.
