Answer: CNAME record
A CNAME (Canonical Name) record is used to map one domain name to another domain name. Because the target domain (`app.example.com`) is hosted outside AWS by an internet provider and is not an AWS resource, a Route 53 Alias record cannot be used. Thus, a CNAME record is the correct choice.
