The key word here is "minimum overhead". Using AWS Backup would insure that. Ref: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/set-up-scheduled-backups-for-amazon-dynamodb-using-aws-backup/

C is better than D, as the latter introduces administration overhead: Amazon DynamoDB supports stand-alone on-demand backup and restores features. You can create table backups using the console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the DynamoDB API. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/backuprestore_HowItWorks.html

C If you don't want to create scheduling scripts and cleanup jobs, you can use AWS Backup to create backup plans with schedules and retention policies for your DynamoDB tables. AWS Backup runs the backups and deletes them when they expire. For more information, see the AWS Backup Developer Guide.
