Ans: A REF: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ReplicateBackups.html "Enabling cross-Region automated backups You can enable backup replication on new or existing DB instances using the Amazon RDS console. You can also use the start-db-instance-automated-backups-replication AWS CLI command or the StartDBInstanceAutomatedBackupsReplication RDS API operation. You can replicate up to 20 backups to each destination AWS Region for each AWS account"

Selected Answer: A
the thing is ... question is asking for "backups" in another region. A read replica is for active use by db clients' live read operations. We don't want that ... we just want a backup.

In terms of operational efficiency, Option A may be a better solution compared to Option B. However, it's important to note that cross-Region backups may cause additional latency, and the backups may take longer to complete if there is limited bandwidth between the Regions. The company should assess its specific needs and consider the trade-offs between automation and latency when selecting the best solution for its requirements.

Do replicas work cross-region ? I believe its expensive not cost effective

For what I understood in the question, cost was never something to consider in this case.
