The AWS Documentation mentions the following.

Developers can now configure a Kinesis stream to receive events as data is updated and synchronized.

Amazon Cognito can push each dataset change to a Kinesis stream you own in real-time.

The correct answer is C. Cognito Streams.

AWS Cognito is a fully managed service that provides user authentication, authorization, and user management functionalities to mobile and web applications. It enables developers to easily add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control capabilities to their applications.

AWS Cognito Streams is a feature that allows developers to stream events that are triggered by changes in user data stored in Cognito User Pools to other AWS services in real-time. This feature can be used to analyze and process the data that is stored in Cognito for the purpose of business intelligence, fraud detection, user behavior analysis, and other analytics use cases.

When Cognito Streams is enabled, Cognito sends user events such as sign-up, sign-in, and account update events to an Amazon Kinesis Data Stream in real-time. Developers can then use AWS Lambda or other AWS services to process and analyze the data that is stored in the Kinesis stream.

To enable Cognito Streams, you need to create a Kinesis Data Stream in your AWS account and configure it to receive user events from your Cognito User Pool. You also need to configure your User Pool to stream events to the Kinesis Data Stream.

In conclusion, if you want to analyze the information that is stored in AWS Cognito for your application, you should use Cognito Streams to stream user events to other AWS services for processing and analysis.
