It’s ‘C’.

Server-side encryption is about protecting data at rest. Server-side encryption with Amazon S3-managed encryption keys (SSE-S3) employs strong multi-factor encryption.

Amazon S3 encrypts each object with a unique key. As an additional safeguard, it encrypts the key itself with a master key that it regularly rotates. Amazon S3 server-side encryption uses one of the strongest block ciphers available, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), to encrypt your data.

“It provides an encrypted virtual disk in the Cloud.”

Since S3 is an object store service and not a “virtual disk”, ‘A’ cannot be the correct answer.

C = It encrypts the files that you send to Amazon S3, on the server side.

Server-side encryption encrypts only the object data. Any object metadata is not encrypted.
