You are designing an application to aggregate content for users. Recommend a database solution that supports SQL commands, allows multi-master writes, and ensures low-latency read operations. Which service should you include in the recommendation?

Correct answer: Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL API).
Why this is the answer
Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL API) is the correct choice because it natively supports SQL commands for querying data, offers multi-master write capabilities across regions, and provides guaranteed low-latency read operations (often single-digit milliseconds). This aligns perfectly with the requirements for content aggregation in a globally distributed application. Azure SQL Database with active geo-replication provides high availability and disaster recovery but is a single-master system, meaning writes are directed to a primary replica, not multi-master. Azure SQL Database Hyperscale is designed for very large relational databases and scalability but also operates as a single-master system. Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL is a distributed relational database, but it's not the primary Cosmos DB API for multi-master writes and low-latency global reads across diverse data models like the NoSQL API.
