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
✓
It allows GetObject access to the bucket only from IP addresses in 10.0.0.0/8
The policy statement allows the s3:GetObject action on the specified bucket, with a condition that the request must originate from an IP address within the 10.0.0.0/8 range. Therefore, it grants GetObject access only from IP addresses in that range. Option A is incorrect because the policy allows, not denies. Option B is incorrect because the condition is based on IP address, not VPC. Option C is incorrect because the action is GetObject, not PutObject. Option D correctly describes the access granted.
