Selected Answer: A

The key reasons are: Amazon Macie is designed specifically for discovering and classifying sensitive data like PII in S3. This makes it the optimal service to use. Macie can be enabled directly in the required Regions rather than enabling it across all Regions which is unnecessary. This minimizes overhead. Macie can be set up to automatically scan the specified S3 buckets on a schedule. No need to create separate jobs. Security Hub is for security monitoring across AWS accounts, not specific for PII discovery. More overhead than needed. Inspector and GuardDuty are not built for PII discovery in S3 buckets. They provide broader security capabilities.
