A.
S3 Standard
B.

C.
S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA)
D.
S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)

D. S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)

For a scenario where data is rarely accessed, and the company can regenerate the data if needed, the most cost-effective storage class would be S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA). This storage class stores data in a single availability zone, providing cost savings compared to storage classes that store data redundantly across multiple availability zones.

S3 One Zone-IA is ideal for customers who want a lower-cost option for infrequently accessed

Re: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 topic 1 question 251

Since the company rarely accesses the data and can regenerate it if needed, S3 One Zone-IA offers a balance of cost savings and availability for their use case.

Re: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 topic 1 question 251

S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)  is the most cost-effective storage class.

Re: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 topic 1 question 251

For other infrequently accessed data, such as duplicates of backups or data summaries that can be regenerated, S3 One Zone-IA provides a lower price point.

S3 Standard-IA is designed for infrequently accessed data but still provides low-latency and high-throughput performance when needed. It is a cost-effective option compared to S3 Standard, which is designed for frequently accessed data. With S3 Standard-IA, you pay a lower storage fee, but there is a retrieval fee when accessing the data.

Key words “data can be regenerated if necessary “  To me, this means S3 one zone infrequent  access. It is the most cost effective. Data is stored in only one zone thereby saving money. Therefore from my own point of view, l will go with option D S3 One Zone -IA.
