Correct Answer: D.

The feature of Azure Storage for Blob that Naomi can turn on to meet the production requirement of recovering accidentally deleted Blobs within the next ten days is "Soft delete."

Soft delete is a feature in Azure Blob storage that allows users to recover data that has been accidentally deleted or overwritten. When Soft delete is enabled, deleted blobs are not immediately removed from the storage account. Instead, they are retained in a soft-deleted state, which allows the blobs to be recovered if needed. The default retention period for Soft delete in Azure Blob storage is 7 days, but it can be extended up to a maximum of 365 days. In this case, Naomi can set the retention period to 10 days to meet the requirement.

The other options given in the answers are not relevant to the requirement of recovering accidentally deleted Blobs within the next ten days. Malware protection for Blob is a security feature that helps detect and prevent the spread of malware in Blob storage. Immutable Blob storage is a feature that prevents data from being deleted or modified for a specified period. Storage backup is a feature that creates a backup of data in case of a disaster or data loss event. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Soft delete.
