Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
What Is Amazon CloudFront?
Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .js, and image files, to your users.
CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. When a user requests content that you're serving with
CloudFront, the user is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay), so that content is delivered with the best possible performance.
Using Amazon S3 Buckets for Your Origin
When you use Amazon S3 as an origin for your distribution, you place any objects that you want CloudFront to deliver in an Amazon S3 bucket. You can use any method that is supported by Amazon S3 to get your objects into Amazon S3, for example, the Amazon S3 console or API, or a third-party tool. You can create a hierarchy in your bucket to store the objects, just as you would with any other Amazon S3 bucket.
Using an existing Amazon S3 bucket as your CloudFront origin server doesn't change the bucket in any way; you can still use it as you normally would to store and access Amazon S3 objects at the standard Amazon S3 price. You incur regular Amazon S3 charges for storing the objects in the bucket.

B is correct. In question basic key words are "Static WebSite", and "load as quickly as possible around the world" S3 + Cloudfront(Content Delivery Network) is a good fit for this and also provide DDoS Protection Shield, AWS Web Application Firewall and enhance the security with CloudFront OAI(Origin Access Identity).
