Correct Answer: B

Weighted routing policy is suitable to route traffic to multiple resources based upon weights defined. This is useful when multiple resources are associated with a single domain name , & traffic needs to route based upon weighted proportions to each of the resources. For example , if there are 2 resources A & B for a single domain, using Weighted routing policy in Route 53 , traffic can be routed in any proportions like 90% to resource A & 10% to resource B.

• Option A is incorrect as Latency based routing is suitable for routing based upon lowest latency to the resources from user location. 
• Option C is incorrect as Failover routing policy will be suitable for routing to a secondary resource only in case of failure in primary resource.
• Option D is incorrect as Multivalue answer routing policy will be suitable to respond with multiple (up to eight ) records for any query made to Route 53.
