Answer - D.

The AWS documentation mentions the following:

Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .js, and image files, to your users.

CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations.

The correct answer is D. Amazon Edge locations.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that helps deliver your static and dynamic web content, streaming videos, and APIs to users across the globe. CloudFront is designed to distribute content from origin servers to edge locations, which are located in various geographic regions across the world.

When a user requests content, CloudFront will route the request to the nearest edge location, where the content is cached. This helps reduce latency and improve performance by delivering content to users from the closest edge location.

Amazon VPC (A) is a virtual private cloud service that allows you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network. It is used for isolating resources and creating a private network for your AWS services.

Amazon Regions (B) are geographic locations where AWS resources are available. Each region consists of multiple availability zones (C), which are physically separate locations within the same region.

Although CloudFront uses Amazon's global infrastructure, it primarily utilizes edge locations (D) to distribute content to users across the globe.
