C.Create a Direct Connect connection between the on-premises datacenter and AWS.
D.Create a VPN between the datacenter AWS and the on-premise environment.

Answer – A and C
The AWS Documentation mentions the following on AD Connectors
AD Connector is a directory gateway with which you can redirect directory requests to your on-premises Microsoft Active Directory without caching any information in the cloud. AD Connector comes in two sizes, small and large. A small AD Connector is designed for smaller organizations of up to 500 users. A large AD Connector can support larger organizations of up to 5,000 users.
Once set up, AD Connector offers the following benefits:
· Your end users and IT administrators can use their existing corporate credentials to log on to AWS applications such as Amazon WorkSpaces, Amazon WorkDocs, or Amazon WorkMail.

For better performance and reliability consider using the Direct Connect Connection between AWS and the on-premise infrastructure.
