Explanation:
Option A is the correct strategy. AWS Snowball is a physical data transfer device that can efficiently and securely import large datasets to AWS. By using Snowball, you can transfer the dataset to S3 and then apply S3 Lifecycle policies to distribute the data across different storage classes based on access patterns. This approach ensures an efficient and cost-effective migration process. Option B is not efficient, and options C and D do not address the specific needs of migrating and optimizing storage costs for hot and cold data.
