I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if the Apex Trigger or the Custom Pricing Method would be the best approach.

I'm a little confused by all the options. Should I be looking at the applications, the registry, the configuration, or the audit logs? I want to make sure I don't overlook anything important.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking about improving file retrieval performance, so the answer has to be either increasing the provisioned throughput or removing unused files. Encryption in transit shouldn't affect performance, and resizing the EBS volumes won't help the EFS file system.

MSDP seemed more focused on inter-domain multicast. I wonder if that's applicable or if that's just distracting me from the real answer.

I'm going to have to go with strategic alliance. It's like outsourcing your logistics department, but with a fancy name.

Internal function? That's a strange choice. Outsourcing logistics is definitely an external activity.
