I'm leaning towards C, the target tracking scaling policy seems like it could automatically scale up the capacity when the system is under heavy load. That could be a good hands-off solution.

Option B looks promising, the step scaling policy could help adjust capacity based on the load. I'll need to do some research on how to configure that properly.

That makes sense too, target tracking scaling policy could be more efficient in this scenario.

I disagree, I believe the answer is C because target tracking scaling policy adjusts capacity based on a target metric.

I think the answer is B because step scaling policy allows for larger adjustments in capacity during heavy load.
