Answer: Availability Zones contain multiple data centers.
## Explanation In AWS global infrastructure: - **Availability Zones (AZs)** are physically separate data centers within an AWS Region that are engineered to be isolated from failures in other Availability Zones - Each **Availability Zone contains multiple data centers** with redundant power, networking, and connectivity - **Edge locations** are separate from Availability Zones and are part of Amazon CloudFront (CDN) for content delivery - **AWS Regions** contain multiple Availability Zones, not the other way around - **Regional edge caches** are part of CloudFront infrastructure, not the core AWS global infrastructure hierarchy The correct statement reflects the hierarchical structure: AWS Regions → Availability Zones → Data Centers
