Amazon RDS provides automated backups, which can be configured to take regular snapshots of the database instance. By enabling automated backups and setting the retention period to 30 days, the company can ensure that it retains backups for up to 30 days. Additionally, Amazon RDS allows for point-in-time recovery within the retention period, enabling the restoration of the database to its state from any point within the last 30 days, including 5 minutes before any change. This feature provides the required capability to recover from accidental data loss incidents.

Automated backups allow you to recover your database to any point in time within your specified retention period, which can be up to 35 days. The recovery process creates a new Amazon RDS instance with a new endpoint, and the process takes time proportional to the size of the database. Automated backups are enabled by default and occur daily during the backup window. This feature provides an easy and convenient way to recover from data loss incidents such as the one described in the scenario.

Option C, Automated backups, will meet the requirement. Amazon RDS allows you to automatically create backups of your DB instance. Automated backups enable point-in-time recovery (PITR) for your DB instance down to a specific second within the retention period, which can be up to 35 days. By setting the retention period to 30 days, the company can restore the database to its state from up to 5 minutes before any change within the last 30 days.
