Explanation:
Option C is the correct answer because AWS Data Lifecycle Manager allows you to create a policy that moves snapshots to Glacier after a specified period (in this case, 1 year) and retains them for the required retention period (5 years). This ensures compliance with the organization's policy. Option A does not meet the 5-year retention requirement as it deletes snapshots after 5 years. Option B only prevents deletion but does not ensure the snapshots are retained for 5 years. Option D deletes snapshots after 1 year, which is not compliant with the retention policy.
