A. B. C. D.Answer - B.
The AWS documentation mentions the following.
Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration enables fast, easy, and secure transfers of files over long distances between your client and an S3 bucket.
Transfer Acceleration takes advantage of Amazon CloudFront's globally distributed edge locations.
As the data arrives at an edge location, data is routed to Amazon S3 over an optimized network path.
For more information on S3 acceleration please see the below link:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/transfer-acceleration.htmlThe correct answer is B. Transfer Acceleration.
Transfer Acceleration is a feature of Amazon S3 that is designed to increase transfer speed over long distances between the client and an S3 bucket. This feature is particularly useful for customers who need to transfer large amounts of data over long distances, such as across different regions or across the globe.
Transfer Acceleration uses Amazon CloudFront's globally distributed edge locations to accelerate transfers. When a client uploads an object to an S3 bucket using Transfer Acceleration, the data is first routed to the nearest Amazon CloudFront edge location. From there, the data is transferred over Amazon's highly optimized network to the S3 bucket in the appropriate region.
This process can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to upload or download objects, especially when the distance between the client and the S3 bucket is large.
In contrast, Requester Pays is a feature that enables S3 bucket owners to pass on the cost of data transfer to the requester. This feature is useful for scenarios where a bucket owner wants to share their data with others but does not want to pay for the cost of data transfer.
Fast Transfer and Multi-part file upload are not actual features of Amazon S3, therefore they are not relevant to this question.
