D) Cold HDD (sc1) seems like the most economical choice here. Who needs fast backups when you can just wait all day for them to finish?

Hah! The company should just use floppy disks. That's the most cost-effective storage solution I can think of.

B) Provisioned IOPS SSD (io3) would be my pick. It's designed for high-performance database workloads, and the company needs to write the backups quickly before moving them to S3.
