Answer D is the correct solution that meets the requirements. The S3 Block Public Access feature allows you to restrict public access to S3 buckets and objects within the account. You can enable this feature at the account level to prevent any S3 bucket from being made public, regardless of the bucket policy settings. AWS Organizations can be used to apply a Service Control Policy (SCP) to the account to prevent IAM users from changing this setting, ensuring that all S3 objects remain private. This is a straightforward and effective solution that requires minimal operational overhead.
