What happens with the standby database when disabling Autonomous Data Guard?

Disabling Autonomous Data Guard affects the standby database:

Correct Answer (A): “The standby database is terminated” is true. When Data Guard is disabled via the OCI Console or API, the standby database is deleted, ending its role as a replica. This is a permanent action requiring re-enablement to recreate a standby.

Incorrect Options:

B: The standby doesn’t become read-write; it’s removed entirely.

C: It doesn’t remain read-only; termination stops all operations.
