Selected Answer: C
The key reasons are: DMS provides an easy migration path from MySQL to Aurora while minimizing downtime. Aurora is a MySQL-compatible relational database service that will maintain compatibility with the company's applications. Aurora Auto Scaling allows the database to automatically scale up and down based on demand to handle increased workloads. RDS MySQL (Option A) does not scale as well as the Aurora architecture. Redshift (Option B) is for analytics, not transactional data, and may not be compatible. DynamoDB (Option D) is a NoSQL datastore and lacks MySQL compatibility.
