Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D
- A. Wrong: SQS holds messages between application components. It does not send email to customers.
- B. Wrong: EventBridge routes events between applications and services. It does not deliver email to customers.
- C. Wrong: IoT Core connects devices such as sensors to AWS. It is not an email service.
- D. Right: Correct. SES sends and receives email using your own addresses and domains, for both transactional and marketing messages.
Explanation
Amazon SES is AWS's email platform. Applications use it to send transactional emails such as order confirmations, marketing emails such as offers, and newsletters, and it can also receive email. SNS can send simple email notifications, but SES is the service built for customer email at scale from your own domain.
