Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure load balancer to redirect HTTP to HTTPS
Why this is correct
Redirecting HTTP to HTTPS enforces encrypted communications.
- ✗
Disable TLS for internal VPC traffic
Why it's wrong here
Disabling TLS reduces security; internal traffic should also be encrypted if possible.
- ✓
Use TLS 1.2 or higher for all API endpoints
Why this is correct
TLS 1.2+ provides strong encryption for data in transit.
- ✗
Enable AES-256 encryption at rest
Why it's wrong here
Encryption at rest is for stored data, not in transit.
- ✓
Implement certificate management with auto-renewal
Why this is correct
