C and D – yes, sure. For D, it suggests to use an Elastic Load Balancer with auto scaling groups for RDS tier. None of them is supported currently. regarding ELB:
“Currently, the Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancer does not support the routing of traffic to RDS instances. Therefore, you might want to consider other options such as HAProxy, which is a open-source software-based load balancer that many people use.”

There is an interesting discussion on https://equizzing.com/amazon/which-of-the-below-are-viable-mitigation-techniques-3/

From the rest, I like more the option B:
“B. Correct – If you are on a dedicated server then you lose the chance neighbor being DDOS”

So: C,B,E
