Answers
D.
Trigger a Lambda function with a monthly CloudWatch event that rotates the key material in the CMK.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

You can use a Lambda function to create a new key and then update the S3 bucket to use the new key. Remember not to delete the old key, else you will not be able to decrypt the documents stored in the S3 bucket using the older key. Option B is incorrect because AWS KMS cannot rotate keys on a monthly basis

Option C is incorrect because deleting the old key means that you cannot access the older objects

Option D is incorrect because rotating key material is not possible.
