Answers
D.

Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

This answer is correct because it meets the requirements of sharing the database with the auditor in a secure way. You can create an encrypted snapshot of the database by using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt the snapshot with a customer managed key. You can share the snapshot with the auditor by modifying the permissions of the snapshot and specifying the AWS account ID of the auditor. You can also allow access to the AWS KMS encryption key by adding a key policy statement that grants permissions to the auditor's account. This way, you can ensure that only the auditor can access and restore the snapshot in their own AWS account.
