Correct answer & explanation
✓
The DB instance is not encrypted at rest.
The output shows 'StorageEncrypted: false' and 'KmsKeyId: null', which indicates the DB instance is not encrypted at rest. Option B is incorrect because the output does not indicate any failed state; it's a valid status showing encryption configuration. Option C is incorrect because the output does not mention the database engine type. Option D is incorrect because an encrypted instance would show 'StorageEncrypted: true' and a non-null KmsKeyId.
