Correct answer: Configuration of infrastructure devices.
Why this is the answer
Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, which includes the underlying infrastructure. This means AWS manages and configures the physical hardware, networking, and facilities, including infrastructure devices. The customer is responsible for security in the cloud. Managing and encrypting application data, installing guest operating system updates and patches, and configuring security groups on instances are all customer responsibilities, as these fall within the customer's control plane for their EC2 instances.
