Answer is C. https://aws.amazon.com/efs/ Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides a simple, serverless, set-and-forget, elastic file system that lets you share file data without provisioning or managing storage. It can be used with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources, and is built to scale on demand to petabytes without disrupting applications. With Amazon EFS, you can grow and shrink your file systems automatically as you add and remove files, eliminating the need to provision and manage capacity to accommodate growth.

Why S3 is not an option ?

I guess thats because " To fulfill the migration deadline, only minor adjustments are necessary." S3 stores data as objects, while it's said that application runs on on-prem Linux web servers. With EFS there won't be major changes in application code, because EFS stores data as files. Also EFS is better to "web servers must access files stored in a shared file storage"
