Answer options:

S3 Versioning with MFA Delete

S3 Object Lock in Governance mode

S3 Object Lock in Compliance mode

S3 Lifecycle policies

How to approach this question

Identify the need for WORM (Write Once Read Many) storage that even the root user cannot bypass. This is S3 Object Lock in Compliance mode.

Full Answer

C.S3 Object Lock in Compliance mode✓ Correct

S3 Object Lock in Compliance mode

S3 Object Lock provides WORM storage. In Compliance mode, a protected object version can't be overwritten or deleted by any user, including the root user in your AWS account. In Governance mode, users with special permissions can alter the retention settings.

Common mistakes

Confusing Governance mode (can be bypassed) with Compliance mode (cannot be bypassed).
