Selected Answer: C

A - Spot Instance is never a good idea for databases. These instances can be terminated with little notice, while databases are almost always persistent workloads. B - On-Demand Capacity is suitable for steady or predictable workloads, but not as cost-efficient as Aurora Serverless for spiky or unpredictable workloads. C - Aurora Serverless is a fully managed relational database that scales automatically with traffic. Automated Backups is also integrated with Aurora. Good! D - We need a structured database, not NoSQL database.
