A is correct. Multi-AZ is using synchronous replication ensuring less than 1s RPO. Read replicas are assynchronous with lag up to 5 minutes in postgresql RDS

'less than 1s RPO' how can you prove it? Any docs?

https://aws.amazon.com/rds/features/multi-az/ Here it says 60 seconds automatic failover duration for multi AZ with one standby, and 35 seconds for two readable standbys. 1s RPO does not seem to be right. Now let's look at this: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/implementing-a-disaster-recovery-strategy-with-amazon-rds/ It says that RPO and RTO is being measured by hour. So, less than 1 hour RPO and RTO still means 0. Given that, A seems to be the right answer

A is correct. The question mentions about "Production Environment". The RDS Multi-AZ configuration is the recommended approach for production environments due to its ability to support low RTO (recovery time objective) and RPO (recovery point objective) requirements.

Read replicas are for off loading read requests from main db and not for Failover. Situation asks for failover (RPO) so A (Multi AZ) is the correct ans.

IMO: Multi-AZ RPO is zero: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/managed-disaster-recovery-with-amazon-rds-for-sql-server-using-cross-region-automated-backups/#:~:text=Amazon%20RDS%20Multi,0
