A. Update the parameter group in use by the DB instance, and set the require_secure_transport parameter to ON https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/mysql-ssl-connections.html "Use the require_secure_transport parameter to require that all user connections to your MySQL DB instance use SSL/TLS. By default, the require_secure_transport parameter is set to OFF. You can set the require_secure_transport parameter to ON to require SSL/TLS for connections to your DB instance."
