Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Amazon Route 53 with optional WHOIS privacy protection. Amazon Route 53 is AWS's domain registration service, allowing customers to register domains and manage DNS records. It also offers WHOIS privacy protection to secure personal information from being exposed in public WHOIS databases. This feature ensures domain ownership details are safeguarded, aligning with the organization's security requirements.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Amazon Route 53 does support domain registration and DNS management, but DNSSEC configuration is not automatically enabled upon registration. DNSSEC must be explicitly configured manually.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: AWS Certificate Manager does not handle domain registration. It is used to manage SSL/TLS certificates but is not involved in the domain registration process.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Amazon Route 53 supports domain registration and provides the option to enable WHOIS privacy protection. This helps secure the domain owner's personal information from being publicly accessible.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service and does not support domain registration. It is used for distributing content securely at low latency.
