While clustering application servers (Option C) can help distribute web traffic and improve performance, it may not provide the same level of flexibility and responsiveness as dynamically scaling resources based on demand. Configuring resources to scale (Option D) allows the website to adapt to fluctuating traffic patterns in real-time, making it the BEST approach for handling unpredictable amounts of traffic.

D. Configure resources to scale. The best approach to enable an e-commerce website to handle unpredictable amounts of traffic is to configure resources to scale. This approach involves setting up your infrastructure in a way that allows you to dynamically allocate additional resources (such as servers, storage, and bandwidth) as traffic increases and de-allocate them when traffic decreases. This scalability can be achieved through various techniques like auto-scaling, load balancing, and cloud-based services. While the other options (A, B, and C) can certainly help improve the performance and efficiency of your website, they may not be as effective in handling sudden and unpredictable spikes in traffic. Scaling resources ensures that your website can adapt to changing traffic patterns and maintain good performance even during high-traffic periods.

Use the scaling just like in AWS auto scaling. so option D should be the answer.
