Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The download will fail with an access denied error
The bucket policy denies all actions when aws:SecureTransport is false (i.e., HTTP). Therefore, HTTP requests are denied. Option A is wrong because the policy denies HTTP requests. Option C is wrong because the policy does not require encryption at rest. Option D is wrong because the policy explicitly denies HTTP.
