The correct answer is D. Use AWS Storage Gateway, and configure it to use gateway-stored volumes. Stored volumes make your entire data available locally on the gateway, while maintaining an asynchronous copy in the S3 bucket. Cached volumes store the full volume in the S3 bucket, while only keeping the recently used data in local cache.
