• A. S3 Standard
• B. S3 Intelligent-Tiering ✓
• C. S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA)
• D. S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)

Correct Answer: B. S3 Intelligent-Tiering

Explanation

S3 Intelligent-Tiering is the storage option that meets these requirements. It automatically moves objects between two access tiers: frequent access and infrequent access. This ensures that frequently accessed objects are stored in the frequent access tier, while rarely accessed objects are stored in the infrequent access tier. Additionally, S3 Intelligent-Tiering is designed to be resilient to the loss of an Availability Zone, ensuring high durability and availability of the stored data. This option also offers cost savings by automatically moving objects to the most cost-effective tier based on changing access patterns.
