Explanation

Since this is required over a consistency low latency connection, you should use Direct Connect. For encryption, you can make use of a VPN Option A is invalid because exposing an HTTPS endpoint will not help all traffic to flow between a VPC and the data center. Option C is invalid because low latency is a key requirement Option D is invalid because only Direct Connect will not suffice https://aws.amazon.com/answers/networking/aws-multiple-vpc-vpn-connection-sharint
