Answer - A and B.

The AWS Documentation mentions the following on DDoS attacks.

AWS Services for DDoS Attack Mitigation.

AWS offers globally distributed, high network bandwidth and resilient services that, when used in conjunction with application-specific strategies, are key to mitigating DDoS attacks.

For more information on how to leverage each of these services and details on how their various features help protect against DDoS attacks, see the whitepaper AWS Best Practices for DDoS Resiliency.

AWS Shield.

AWS Shield is a managed DDoS protection service that is available in two tiers: Standard and Advanced.

AWS Shield Standard applies always-on detection and inline mitigation techniques, such as deterministic packet filtering and priority-based traffic shaping, to minimize application downtime and latency.

AWS Shield Standard is included automatically and transparently to your Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, Amazon CloudFront distributions, and Amazon Route 53 resources at no additional cost.

When you use these services that include AWS Shield Standard, you receive comprehensive availability protection against all known infrastructure layer attacks.

Customers who have the technical expertise to manage their own monitoring and mitigation of application layer attacks can use AWS Shield together with AWS WAF rules to create a comprehensive DDoS attack mitigation strategy.

AWS Shield Advanced provides enhanced DDoS attack detection and monitoring for application-layer traffic to your Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, CloudFront distributions, Amazon Route 53 hosted zones and resources attached to an Elastic IP address, such Amazon EC2 instances.
