This solution addresses the need for secure access to confidential and sensitive files, as well as the increase in remote usage. Migrating the files to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server provides a scalable, fully managed file storage solution in the AWS Cloud that is accessible from on-premises and cloud environments.

AWS Client VPN provides a secure and managed VPN solution that can be used by employees to access the files securely.

My money is on B, but it's still not mentioned that the customer used an on-prem Active Directory.

C has "signed URL", everyone who has the URL could download. Plus, only B ensure the "must be downloaded securely" part by using VPN.
