Correct answer is AC
ac is correct
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resource-record-sets-choosing-alias-non-alias.html
AE is my answer
E – I choose this because Alias name is for Free of cost, where as CNAME is chargable
E is wrong please refer below line
“An alias resource record set can only point to a CloudFront distribution, an Elastic Beanstalk environment, an ELB load balancer, an Amazon S3 bucket that is configured as a static website, or another resource record set in the same Amazon Route 53 hosted zone in which you’re creating the alias resource record set. However, you can’t create an alias that points to the resource record set that Amazon Route 53 creates when you create a policy record”

Answer is A&C

Amazon Route 53 offers ‘Alias’ records (an Amazon Route 53-specific virtual record). Alias records are used to map resource record sets in your hosted zone to Amazon Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, Amazon CloudFront distributions, AWS Elastic Beanstalk environments, or Amazon S3 buckets that are configured as websites.
Alias records work like a CNAME record in that you can map one DNS name (example.com) to another ‘target’ DNS name (elb1234.elb.amazonaws.com).

A CNAME record can point to any DNS record hosted anywhere, including to the resource record set that Amazon Route 53 automatically creates when you create a policy record.

I get it, the answer is A and C.
Rhetorically speaking, someone tell me how Rt53 can point to any record anywhere? I mean, that’s not really true. What if DNS server isn’t accessible to the internet. What about a PTR record? CNAME to PTR record would be Name to IP which is not what a CNAME record is for. Physicists think there are parallel universes, can Rt53 point to the DNS servers parallel universes? These questions… Anywhere is a terrible choice in words
Do we get all 60 questions in the exam out of these 400+ questions only ??
Plz Help!!! my exam is near… are these questions enough to pass the exam. plz reply.. thanks
