A. False.
A new instance is not created upon restore. You can take a snapshot and create a new instance but the question is not asking that.
I am wrong above. The is true.
Restoring From a DB Snapshot
Amazon RDS creates a storage volume snapshot of your DB instance, backing up the entire DB instance and not just individual databases. You can create a DB instance by restoring from this DB snapshot. When you restore the DB instance, you provide the name of the DB snapshot to restore from, and then provide a name for the new DB instance that is created from the restore. You cannot restore from a DB snapshot to an existing DB instance; a new DB instance is created when you restore.

Thank Chef.
But than whats the use of restoring the DB. Idea of restoring will be to restore on the existing one.
Update your connection string (e.g. Oracle TNSnames) so the instance resolves to the new endpoint.

Please note: When you perform a restore operation to a point in time or from a DB Snapshot, a new DB Instance is created with a new endpoint (the old DB Instance can be deleted if so desired). This is done to enable you to create multiple DB Instances from a specific DB Snapshot or point in time.
it says to a point in time which mean not to a new instance, but to existing instance.
so, it is A.
any thought?
Even though you restore to a point in time , RDS still requires a new endpoint to be created.
B.
TRUE
B, You can restore your DB instance to any specific time during this retention period, creating a new DB instance.
