Explanation

Amazon S3 supports one Lifecycle configuration per bucket that can contain multiple rules. Lifecycle rules can include filters, including object size filters: ObjectSizeGreaterThan and ObjectSizeLessThan. You can combine rules so that one targets large objects and another provides a default expiration. Here, configure Rule 1 with a size filter ObjectSizeGreaterThan = 1 TB and Expiration = 2 days (48 hours) to purge very large videos early. Configure Rule 2 with Expiration = 7 days without a size filter to serve as a catch-all maximum retention for all objects. Options B and D are invalid because S3 does not allow multiple Lifecycle configurations per bucket. Option C cannot distinguish large files; it would delete all files at the same schedule without honoring the 48-hour policy for >1 TB objects. This single configuration with two rules meets both retention targets with minimal overhead and full S3-native capability.
