A.
By using an Amazon Route 53 Alias record

B.
By using an AAAA record

C.
By using an Amazon Route 53 CNAME record

D.
By using an A record

Explanation:
You can create an alias resource record set at the zone apex. You cannot create a CNAME record at the top
node of a DNS namespace, also known as the zone apex. For example, if you register the DNS name
example.com, the zone apex is example.com.
