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 an S3 Bucket Policy
Why this is correct
Bucket policies allow for fine-grained resource-based access control.
- ✗
Update the VPC Route Table
Why it's wrong here
Route tables manage network traffic, not identity-based data access.
- ✗
Enable Public Access Block
Why it's wrong here
This only prevents public access; it does not authorize specific internal groups.
- ✗
Enable S3 Versioning
Why it's wrong here
Versioning is for data recovery, not for access control.
