Answer - B and C.

When you create a hosted zone, Amazon Route 53 automatically creates four name server (NS) records and a start of authority (SOA) record for the zone.

When you create a hosted zone in Amazon Route 53, two records are automatically created: SOA (Start of Authority) and NS (Name Server).

The SOA record contains information about the domain and the zone, including the primary name server for the domain, the email address of the person responsible for the domain, and other parameters related to zone management.

The NS record specifies the authoritative name servers for the domain. This record is required to enable clients to find the name servers that can provide authoritative responses for the domain.

AAA and CNAME are resource record types that can be created manually in the hosted zone, but they are not automatically created when the zone is created.

An AAAA record is used to map an IPv6 address to a domain name. A CNAME record is used to map a domain name to another domain name, allowing you to create an alias for a domain or subdomain.

In summary, the two records that are automatically created when a hosted zone is created in Route 53 are SOA and NS.
