A: Incorrect - Don't mention how to increase company's available storage space. B: Correct - extend storage space and fast access with S3 File Gateway (cache recent access file), reduce cost and storage by move to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 7 days. C: Incorrect - Didn't handle file lifecycle management. D: Incorrect - Don't mention about increase the company's available storage space.
