Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Compare total storage, retrieval, and transaction cost against a hotter tier

Total cost includes access charges as well as stored bytes. Archive adds offline retrieval and can worsen this access pattern. Online status does not eliminate retrieval/transaction pricing, and moving frequently read objects colder sooner can increase their total access cost. Source guide: PDF page 27-28.
