Athena, a graphic designer, uses OneDrive to back up her work files across her home laptop and office laptop. One day, after completing her work in office, she backs up 5 GB of files to OneDrive. After she gets back home, she realizes that she forgot to send an email. The broadband network is down, so Athena tethers her laptop through her mobile to access the Internet. OneDrive begins downloading changes, and her data plan of 2 GB is exhausted quickly. She did not intend for OneDrive to download these files.
What option should Athena have enabled to prevent this from happening?
A) Automatically pause sync when this device is on a metered network
B) Use Office to work on files with other people at the same time
C) Let me use OneDrive to fetch any of my files on this PC
D) Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows

Option A, "Automatically pause sync when this device is on a metered network," is designed to prevent OneDrive from syncing large amounts of data when connected to a network that may have data limitations, such as a mobile tethering plan. This would have prevented the unwanted download and saved Athena's data plan.
