An adventure company has launched a new feature on its mobile app. Users can use the feature to upload their hiking and rafting photos and videos anytime. The photos and videos are stored in Amazon S3 Standard storage in an S3 bucket and are served through Amazon CloudFront. The company needs to optimize the cost of the storage. A solutions architect discovers that most of the uploaded photos and videos are accessed infrequently after 30 days. However, some of the uploaded photos and videos are accessed frequently after 30 days. The solutions architect needs to implement a solution that maintains millisecond retrieval availability of the photos and videos at the lowest possible cost. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A (S3 Intelligent-Tiering) is the best solution because it automatically transitions objects between storage tiers based on actual access patterns. It maintains millisecond retrieval, supports unpredictable access patterns, and minimizes storage cost with no operational overhead.

A is right B S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 30 days is not correct, retrieval takes time so incorrect.

Another option with S3 Glacier instant retrieval would have made the question very interesting.
