A.
Yes
B.
Only in certain regions
C.
Only in VPC
D.
No
Explanation:
https://aws.amazon.com/public-data-sets/If your DB instance is a Multi-AZ deployment, you can force a failover from one availability zone to another
when you select the Reboot option. When you force a failover of your DB instance, Amazon RDS
automatically switches to a standby replica in another Availability Zone and updates the DNS record for the DB
instance to point to the standby DB instance. As a result, you will need to clean up and re-establish any existing
connections to your DB instance. Reboot with failover is beneficial when you want to simulate a failure of a DB
instance for testing, or restore operations to the original AZ after a failover occurs.

Q: Can I initiate a “forced failover” for my Multi-AZ DB instance deployment?
Amazon RDS will automatically failover without user intervention under a variety of failure conditions. In addition, Amazon RDS provides an option to initiate a failover when rebooting your instance. You can access this feature via the AWS Management Console or when using the RebootDBInstance API call.
