   A company's CI/CD pipeline uses AWS CodeBuild to compile an application and run tests. The build process needs to access a database password that is stored in AWS Secrets Manager. The team wants to securely pass this secret to the build without exposing it in the build logs. Which approach should be used?

   • AUse AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to store the password and reference it with the parameter-store parameter in the buildspec.
   • BUse the secrets-manager parameter in the buildspec to retrieve the secret and store it in a shell variable.
   • CStore the password as a plaintext environment variable in the CodeBuild project configuration.
   • DHave the build script call the AWS CLI to retrieve the secret and echo it to a file.
