Explanation:
Option A is the correct answer: Deploy and configure Amazon FSx for Windows File Server on AWS, moving the on-premises file data to FSx and reconfiguring workloads to use FSx for Windows File Server on AWS. This solution meets the requirement for both AWS and on-premises storage access with minimal latency, keeps operational overhead low, and does not require significant changes to existing file access patterns. FSx for Windows File Server is specifically designed to support Windows-based applications and file storage, making it an optimal choice for migrating Windows workloads to AWS.
