B. Create a Route 53 failover routing policy and configure an active-passive failover.

Suggested Answer: AB 🗳️
It is best to use the latency routing policy when you have resources in multiple Amazon EC2 data centers that perform the same function and you want Amazon
Route 53 to respond to DNS queries with the resources that provide the best latency. You could also use the failover routing policy (for public hosted zones only) when you want to configure an active-passive failover, in which one resource takes all traffic when it's available and the other resource takes all traffic when the first resource isn't available.
