Explanation

This is mentioned clearly as a use case for S3 cross-region replication You might configure cross- replication on a bucket for various reasons, including the following: Compliance requirements - Although, by default Amazon S3 stores your data across multiple geographically distant Availability Zones, compliance requirements might dictate that you store data at even further distances. Cross-region replication allows you to replicate data between distant AWS Regions to satisfy these compliance requirements. Option A is invalid because Multi-AZ cannot be used to S3 buckets Option B is invalid because copying it to an EBS volume is not a recommended practice Option C is invalid because creating snapshots is not possible in S3
