A company analyzes its data in an Amazon Redshift data warehouse, which currently has a cluster of three dense storage nodes. Due to a recent business acquisition, the company needs to load an additional 4 TB of user data into Amazon Redshift. The engineering team will combine all the user data and apply complex calculations that require I/O intensive resources. The company needs to adjust the cluster's capacity to support the change in analytical and storage requirements. Which solution meets these requirements?
A) Resize the cluster using elastic resize with dense compute nodes.
B) Resize the cluster using classic resize with dense compute nodes.
C) Resize the cluster using elastic resize with dense storage nodes.
D) Resize the cluster using classic resize with dense storage nodes.
