The correct answer is B. Create additional EC2 instances spanning multiple Availability Zones. Add an Application Load D. Replace the NAT instance with a NAT gateway in each Availability Zone. Update the route tables. A NAT Gateway is spun up in a single subnet that lives in a AZ. So you cannot build a NAT GW that spans mulitple AZ's. You will need to build a NAT GW in EACH AZ to succeed.
