  1. In S3 buckets the customer cannot reach directly, managed through the EC2 console or API
  2. In an S3 bucket in the customer's account, managed through the S3 console
  3. On the source volume itself, as reserved blocks
  4. In an AWS Backup vault, managed through AWS Backup only
Show the answer

Answer: A. In S3 buckets the customer cannot reach directly, managed through the EC2 console or API

Snapshot data is held in S3 buckets that are not customer accessible, so the EC2 console and API are the only management path.
