• Chose D1

  I think the answer is D. The question has three major clues: a. 50 TB of data b. No available network bandwidth c. There is an existing custom transformation application that needs to continue running with minimum operational overhead They point to Snowball Edge + EC2. With D, the application can run on EC2, allowing the company to preserve the existing application rather than rewriting it as an AWS Glue job. The Snowball Edge device with EC2 compute also allows compute workloads to run locally while the data is being transferred.

• Chose C1

  A - Requires network bandwidth, which the data center doesn't have B- Snowcone only holds 8TB D- Running the original custom application on EC2 keeps all the operational overhead of maintaining custom code, instances, and infrastructure. C - Glue is fully managed and has lower overhead

• Chose D2

  I'll go with D. Option C is very close but AWS Glue requires rebuilding the transformation logic, which adds operational effort compared to reusing the existing app.
