K. After research it seems C make sense since it is saying data transfer between EC2 and data transfter between two EC2 in AZ is free but not between AZ's. No cost within AZ: Data transfer between EC2 instances in the same AZ is free. Cross-AZ charges: If you transfer data between instances in different Availability Zones, you will be charged for the inter-zone data transfer. Region-based pricing: While data transfer within an AZ is free, data transfer across different regions may also incur charges

Selected Answer: B
S3 is repliacted only to 3 AZ's and you can't define AZ while creating the Bucket. If this Question would have said about Directory which is One Zone express where you can define the AZ then it makes sense to select option C. Option B makes sense to configure EC2 in same region since EC2/S3 transfer data between same region is free too.

Two reasons: 1. EC2 instances in the same AZ can communicate with each other at no cost. 2. Data transfer between EC2 instances and S3 within the same AZ is free https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/overview-of-data-transfer-costs-for-common-architectures/
