Explanation:
Option C is the correct answer because AWS Backup allows you to create a backup plan with a specific retention period, which in this case is 10 years. This ensures that the RDS volume snapshots are retained for the required period and can be restored if needed. Option A only prevents deletion but does not ensure the snapshots are retained for 10 years. Option B transitions snapshots to Glacier Deep Archive after 9 years, which does not meet the 10-year retention requirement. Option D moves snapshots to Glacier after 1 year, which is not compliant with the retention policy.
