Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
Options A and B are correct. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server (A) provides a native Windows file system with SMB support, ideal for shared file storage in .NET applications that require Windows authentication. AWS Elastic Beanstalk (B) offers a managed environment for .NET applications, simplifying deployment and scaling. Option C (Amazon S3) is object storage, not a shared file system. Option D (Amazon EBS) is block storage and cannot be shared across multiple instances. Option E (AWS Lambda) does not support .NET Framework natively and is not suitable for this use case.
