Always On availability groups supports two availability modes—asynchronous-commit mode and synchronous-commit mode 
Synchronous-commit mode emphasizes high availability over performance, at the cost of increased transaction latency. 
References: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/availability-modes-always-on-availability-groups#SyncCommitAvMode

To set up a readable secondary replica, you first create an availability group. Then you add replicas. 
You can choose either Yes or Read-intent only options.

A contained database is a database that is isolated from other databases and from the instance of SQL Server that hosts the database. 
B: In the contained database user model, the login in the master database is not present. Instead, the authentication process occurs at the user database, and the database user in the user database does not have an associated login in the master database.
SQL Database and SQL Data Warehouse support Azure Active Directory identities as contained database users. 
D: The contained database feature is currently available only in a partially contained state. A partially contained database is a contained database that allows the use of uncontained features.

SQL Database elastic pools are a simple, cost-effective solution for managing and scaling multiple databases that have varying and unpredictable usage demands. The databases in an elastic pool are on a single Azure SQL Database server and share a set number of resources (elastic Database Transaction Units (eDTUs)) at a set price. Elastic pools in Azure SQL Database enable SaaS developers to optimize the price performance for a group of databases within a prescribed budget while delivering performance elasticity for each database.
