For what it's worth, Lambda is involved with rotation of secrets (suggesting option "D."), but I'm presuming Lambda is configured transparently in the background when you enable key rotation, therefore "B." seems to be a more straightforward answer. "Secrets Manager rotation uses an AWS Lambda function to update the secret and the database." "To rotate a secret, Secrets Manager calls a Lambda function according to the schedule you set up." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/rotating-secrets.html
