Correct answer: Use Aurora backtracking to rewind the existing cluster to the target recovery point..
Why this is the answer
Aurora backtracking allows you to rewind an Aurora DB cluster to a specific time within the configured backtracking window, which can be up to 72 hours. This operation is performed in-place on the existing cluster, making it ideal for reverting changes quickly without creating a new cluster. Creating an Aurora Replica and promoting it would create a new cluster, not rewind the existing one. Invoking a Lambda function to restore an automatic backup would also create a new cluster from the backup, not perform an in-place rewind. Point-in-time restore (PITR) creates a new cluster restored to a specific time, rather than rewinding the existing cluster.
