C is correct. "A CNAME record can redirect DNS queries to any DNS record. For example, you can create a CNAME record that redirects queries from acme.example.com to zenith.example.com or to acme.example.org.

B: Alias! It does the same as CNAME, it's cheaper and always preferred by AWS ;)

It does not do the same as CNAME. Alias cannot point a hostname to another hostname.

Alias is for Domain to AWS Resource, not for Domain to Domain I believe.

It is CNAME for www , not just on AWS Route 53, for all DNS domain name servers in the world. See screenshot https://gist.github.com/assets/1328316/b8cc838c-3821-457e-aefc-b3e0f70c8937 .

By what I understood, the website is hosted OUTSIDE AWS. Alias records arent more suitable when mapping AWS resources to another? Like mapping an ALB to Route 53 alias.. Plus its changing the root domain from example to company. Im going for CNAME.

I think the correct answer is c. You should never use a CNAME record for your root domain name (e.g. example.com). https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/differences-between-a-cname-alias-url/

If company.com is hosted in Route53 then Alias record can also be used. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resource-record-sets-choosing-alias-non-alias.html#resource-record-sets-choosing-alias-non-alias-comparison Alias records An alias record can only redirect queries to selected AWS resources, such as the following: Amazon S3 buckets CloudFront distributions Another record in the same Route 53 hosted zone For example, you can create an alias record named acme.example.com that redirects queries to an Amazon S3 bucket that is also named acme.example.com. You can also create an acme.example.com alias record that redirects queries to a record named zenith.example.com in the example.com hosted zone.

This website is hosted outside of AWS. It cannot be an alias.

app.example.com is hosted outside of AWS, but the company.com domain is hosted by Route 53. Why can't the www.company.com alias record point to any external domain? I'm not expert in DNS or Route 53, but it seems that if "company.com" is hosted by Route 53, the "www" record in Route 53 for that domain could be redirected (pointed) to anything with an alias (including cnn.com). I don't have to own a file to be able to create a link to it (even if I don't have rights to the file).
