Correct answer: AWS Shield Advanced.
Why this is the answer
AWS Shield Advanced provides access to the AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT) for expert assistance during a DDoS attack. This is a key benefit of the Advanced tier, offering proactive detection and specialized support. AWS Shield Standard is automatically included for all AWS customers but only provides basic protection and does not include DRT access. AWS Enterprise Support is a support plan that offers technical account management and faster response times, but it does not inherently grant access to the DDoS Response Team; that specific capability is tied to AWS Shield Advanced. AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) helps protect web applications from common exploits but is a separate service focused on application-layer threats, not a comprehensive DDoS protection service with DRT access.
