To ensure immediate accessibility of File1, which action should NOT be taken if the file is set to the Archive access tier?

  1. Set File1's Access tier to Cool

  2. Move File1 to a new storage account and set to Archive

  3. Set File1's Access tier to Hot

  4. Keep File1 in the Archive tier

The correct answer is: Move File1 to a new storage account and set to Archive

The correct action that should not be taken, given the goal of ensuring immediate accessibility of File1, is moving File1 to a new storage account and keeping it in the Archive tier. When a file is set to the Archive access tier, it is stored in a way that minimizes storage costs but limits immediate accessibility. When moving it to a new storage account while also maintaining it in the Archive tier, you would not improve accessibility, as files in the Archive tier require rehydration to the Hot or Cool access tiers before they can be accessed. Choosing to move the file while keeping it in the Archive tier does not serve the purpose of ensuring immediate access. In contrast, setting the access tier to Cool or Hot (as mentioned in the other options) would allow for immediate access to the file, making those options valid for achieving the desired result. Keeping it in the Archive tier means it remains less accessible, aligning this option with the conditions for file accessibility.
