Selected Answer: B

The most secure and automated way to handle database credential rotation is to use AWS Secrets Manager. Secrets Manager can automatically rotate, manage, and retrieve database credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycle. You can configure Secrets Manager to automatically rotate the secrets for you according to a schedule you specify, making it easier to adhere to best practices for security.
