A company has more than 5 TB of file data on Windows file servers that run on premises. Users and applications interact with the data each day. The company is moving its Windows workloads to AWS. As the company continues this process, the company requires access to AWS and on-premises file storage with minimum latency. The company needs a solution that minimizes operational overhead and requires no significant changes to the existing file access patterns. The company uses an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection for connectivity to AWS. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

FSx for Windows + FSx File Gateway provides the best hybrid file system for Windows environments with low-latency on-prem access, fully managed cloud storage, and no major app changes.

D will address the "latency" requirement

On reconsidering, A might be incorrect. First part of te answer looks ok, but later it says "Configure apps to use FSx in AWS". So that doesnt make sense - what about the on prem data? So perhaps its better to simply move all data to FSx on AWS. I think none of the choices are perfect. So D comes close.
