A company has an application that generates a large number of files, each approximately 5 MB in size. The files are stored in Amazon S3. Company policy requires the files to be stored for 4 years before they can be deleted. Immediate accessibility is always required as the files contain critical business data that is not easy to reproduce. The files are frequently accessed in the first 30 days of the object creation but are rarely accessed after the first 30 days. Which storage solution is MOST cost-effective?

Use S3 Standard for 30 days, S3 Standard-IA after that, and retain objects for 4 years, then delete.

"Immediate accessibility is always required " and then "Cost effective"- that leaves us with C.

I'm going with C - the files might be required instantly even if rarely accessed.
