Why not D? Why not AWS storage gateway? With 1Gbps, they can transfer 1.25 GBPS which translates to 2.8 PB in 4 weeks. They need just 1 PB to be transferred

Option C, An AWS Snowmobile has a maximum storage capacity of 100 petabytes (PB). This is equivalent to the capacity of 1,250 Snowball Edge devices

but there are many offices geographically distributed, so snowmobile for each one of them adds up to a lot of cost as compared to option B).

Option C looks good, as option B would lead to usage of too many snowball devices.
