   A company uses Cost Explorer to analyze its S3 spending. The company notices that a significant portion of its S3 costs come from a bucket that stores old application logs. The logs are accessed rarely but must be retained for compliance for seven years. The company wants to reduce storage costs without losing the ability to retrieve logs if needed. What should the company do first to identify the best cost-saving action?

   • AImmediately apply a lifecycle policy to transition the logs to S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
   • BEnable Requester Pays on the bucket to shift costs to the log producers.
   • CDelete the logs immediately to eliminate storage costs.
   • DUse Cost Explorer to filter S3 costs by bucket and access pattern to confirm the logs are infrequently accessed.
