D, Placement Groups (or enhanced networking if they give that as an answer on the test)
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/placement-groups.html
A placement group is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone. Placement groups are recommended for applications that benefit from low network latency, high network throughput, or both. To provide the lowest latency, and the highest packet-per-second network performance for your placement group, choose an instance type that supports enhanced networking.
