Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_pv/kms/latest/developerguide/rotate-keys.html#rotate-keysmanually"You might prefer to rotate keys manually so you can control the rotation frequency. It's also a goodsolution for CMKs that are not eligible for automatic key rotation, such as asymmetric CMKs, CMKs incustom key stores and CMKs with imported key material. Because the new CMK is a differentresource from the current CMK, it has a different key ID and ARN. When you change CMKs, you needto update references to the CMK ID or ARN in your applications. Aliases, which associate a friendlyname with a CMK, make this process easier. Use an alias to refer to a CMK in your applications. Then,when you want to change the CMK that the application uses, change the target CMK of the alias. Toupdate the target CMK of an alias, use UpdateAlias operation in the AWS KMS API. "
