Answer - D.

The AWS Documentation mentions the following.

1Gbps and 10Gbps ports are available.

Speeds of 50Mbps, 100Mbps, 200Mbps, 300Mbps, 400Mbps, and 500Mbps can be ordered from any APN partners supporting AWS Direct Connect.

Direct Connect is a network service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables customers to establish a dedicated network connection between their data centers or colocation environment and AWS. This connection can be used to access AWS services in a more secure and reliable way compared to accessing them over the internet.

To establish a Direct Connect connection, the customer needs to have a dedicated network connection from their premises to an AWS Direct Connect location. This dedicated connection is typically provided by a telecommunications provider or an AWS Direct Connect partner. The bandwidth of the dedicated connection can range from 50 Mbps to 100 Gbps, depending on the requirements of the customer.

In this scenario, the company currently has a 100 Mbps line, which means they can establish a Direct Connect connection with AWS. However, they need to ensure that the dedicated connection from their premises to the Direct Connect location has a minimum bandwidth of 100 Mbps.

Therefore, option A is incorrect as it suggests that it is not possible to establish a Direct Connect connection with a 100 Mbps line, which is not true.

Option B and C are also incorrect as they suggest that the company needs to upgrade their line to a specific bandwidth to establish a Direct Connect connection. The actual required bandwidth will depend on the customer's specific requirements and traffic patterns.

Option D is also incorrect as it suggests that the company needs to contact an AWS partner for this requirement. While it is true that AWS partners can help customers establish a Direct Connect connection, it is not the only way to do so.

In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is that the company can establish a Direct Connect connection with their existing 100 Mbps line, as long as they have a dedicated connection with a minimum bandwidth of 100 Mbps from their premises to the Direct Connect location.
