Question
[Security and Compliance] A company is creating an application that runs on smart TVs and mobile phones. Static images for the application are loaded from an Amazon CloudFront distribution. The images have large file sizes that result in a poor experience for users of mobile devices. The company has created a set of smaller images for mobile devices. A SysOps administrator must configure CloudFront to cache different content based on the user's device type.

Which solution will meet this requirement?
Options
A Set the Elemental-MediaTailor-PersonalizedManifests origin request policy on the CloudFront distribution to enable caching of different images depending on the requesting device.
B Create two new CloudFront distributions: one distribution with the smart TV resources, and one distribution with the mobile device resources. Create a CloudFront behavior. Add a policy to send the requests to the correct distribution.
C Configure AWS Amplify to set the CloudFront distribution origin request policy to enable caching of different images for mobile devices.
D Create a CloudFront origin request policy. Include the CloudFront-Is-SmartTV-Viewer header and the CloudFront-Is-Mobile-Viewer header in the origin request settings.

A Set up an Amazon CloudWatch Events event with a rule to trigger based on any CloudFormation API call An AWS Lambda function can then describe the stack to determine if any protected resources were modified and cancel the operation
B Set up an AWS Config rule to alert based on changes to any CloudFormation stack An AWS Lambda function can then describe the stack to determine if any protected resources were modified and cancel the operation
C Attach an IAM policy to the DevOps team role that prevents a CloudFormation stack from updating, with a condition based on the specific Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the protected resources
D Launch the CloudFormation templates using a stack policy with an explicit allow for all resources and an explicit deny of the protected resources with an action of Update
