Correct answer: Premium performance with locally-redundant storage (LRS).
Why this is the answer
SMB Multichannel for Azure Files is only supported on Premium file shares. Therefore, a Premium performance tier is required. To minimize cost while meeting this requirement, Locally-Redundant Storage (LRS) is the most economical redundancy option. Standard performance tiers do not support SMB Multichannel. Geo-redundant storage (GRS) and Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) provide higher data durability and availability but at a greater cost than LRS, and are not necessary given the "minimizing cost" constraint if LRS is sufficient.
