Selected Answer: D
Taking a snapshot of the DB instance is the recommended method for performing backups of an Amazon RDS DB instance. A snapshot captures the entire state of the DB instance at the time it is taken, including the data, configuration, and storage volume. This snapshot can be used to restore the DB instance to the point in time when the snapshot was taken.
