Correct Answer: C. Store the data in an amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system.Mount the file system on the application instances

Explanation

Amazon EFS is a scalable and fully managed file storage service that is suitable for storing and analyzing large amounts of data. It provides shared access to the data across multiple EC2 instances, making it ideal for scenarios where multiple instances need to modify the data. As the needed amount of storage space will continue to grow for the next 6 months, Amazon EFS can easily scale to accommodate the growing data. By mounting the file system on the application instances, the instances can directly access and modify the data stored in Amazon EFS.
