B

Correct Answer

A consistency model where the system guarantees all nodes will eventually have the same value if no new updates occur, accepting temporary inconsistency

Explanation

Eventual consistency (DNS, Amazon DynamoDB): updates propagate asynchronously — reads may see stale data temporarily. Highly available but requires application-level conflict resolution. Strong consistency (ACID, CP systems) sacrifices availability.
