Application Load Balancer with HTTPS listeners

An ALB can terminate TLS and optionally re-encrypt traffic to targets using HTTPS. Option A is wrong because AWS Certificate Manager provides certificates, not encryption. Option B is wrong because AWS Shield is for DDoS protection. Option C is correct. Option D is wrong because AWS WAF is a web application firewall.
