Correct answer: AWS customers.
Why this is the answer
AWS customers are responsible for enabling encryption for data at rest on Amazon EBS. This is a customer-controlled security feature. AWS KMS is the service that provides the encryption keys and manages the encryption process, but it is the customer who initiates and configures this encryption through the EBS console, API, or CLI. AWS Support assists with technical issues but doesn't configure customer resources. AWS Trusted Advisor provides recommendations but doesn't perform actions like enabling encryption.
