Answer: Launch new EC2 instances by using an AMI that is backed by an EC2 instance store volume. Attach an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume to contain the application data. Apply the default settings to the EC2 instances.

Option C is CORRECT because using an EC2 instance store-backed AMI for the root volume ensures that the root volume is ephemeral, while attaching an additional Amazon EBS volume for the application data ensures persistence. Since the EBS volume is not the root volume, it is not subject to the DeleteOnTermination default behavior unless explicitly configured. This setup ensures the application data persists, even if the EC2 instance is terminated.
