Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that can improve the performance and reduce the cost of serving static content from a website. CloudFront can cache static files at edge locations closer to the users, reducing the latency and data transfer costs. CloudFront can also integrate with Amazon S3 as the origin for the static content, eliminating the need for EC2 instances to host the website. CloudFront meets all the requirements of the question, while the other options do not.
