Selected Answer: D
Amazon RDS relies on Amazon EBS volumes for storage. By configuring Amazon EBS encryption, the underlying storage volumes are encrypted.

Selected Answer: D
- Option D requires the least infrastructure modification as it leverages existing features of EBS and RDS to enable encryption with KMS keys. - This is the most straightforward way to meet the compliance requirement without significant changes to the existing setup.

SSL/Certificate => encrypt in transit, so A and C are wrong. so i feel the answer is between B and D.

Selected Answer: D
Encryption should be KMS, SSL is for transit not at rest... Even though the question never mentioned any EBS volumes whatsoever, I would still go for D....
