Explanation

RabbitMQ is the correct choice because it was built with native AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) support as a core design goal, making it the industry-standard broker when AMQP compliance is a hard requirement. Kafka (A) is a high-throughput distributed event streaming platform that uses its own proprietary protocol, not AMQP, so it does not satisfy that requirement. Zookeeper (C) is a distributed coordination and configuration service, not a message broker at all - it is often used to manage Kafka clusters but sends no application messages itself. RocketMQ (D) is a capable message queue developed by Alibaba, but it uses its own protocol and does not natively implement AMQP.

Memory tip: Link "AMQP" to "A Message Queue Protocol" and recall that RabbitMQ was purpose-built to implement that exact protocol - the word "Queue" in its name is a direct hint that queuing protocols like AMQP are its specialty.
