B 1
Selected Answer: B
Option B: precise routing and bucket policies
Precise routing ensures that:
Traffic remains inside VPC / AWS backbone
PrivateLink-based access is used (for S3, RDS, etc.)
No unintended path to the Internet
Directly relevant to RDS, S3 via endpoints, and PrivateLink.
Bucket policies:
Manage access to S3 objects.
Common exam pattern: “Use VPC endpoint policy + S3 bucket policy to force S3 access over PrivateLink and block public access.”
From an AWS exam perspective, this fits a very standard “secure multi-tier & S3” design.
