Correct answer: Multivalue routing policy.
Why this is the answer
The Multivalue routing policy is designed to return multiple healthy records in response to DNS queries. When associated with health checks, Route 53 will only return the IP addresses of healthy EC2 instances, satisfying the requirement to return all healthy instances. Simple routing policy returns a single record and does not incorporate health checks. Latency routing policy routes traffic to the resource with the lowest latency, not necessarily all healthy instances. Geolocation routing policy routes traffic based on the user's geographic location, which is not the requirement here.
