Correct Answer – B
AWS Documentation mentions the following.
Amazon RDS Read Replicas enable you to create one or more read-only copies of your database instance within the same AWS Region or in a different AWS Region. Updates made to the source database are then asynchronously copied to your Read Replicas. In addition to providing scalability for read-heavy workloads, Read Replicas can be promoted to become a standalone database instance when needed.

Note:
When you enable Multi-AZ for the database, you enable synchronous replication rather than asynchronous replication mentioned in the question.
When you create a Read Replica, you first specify an existing DB instance as the source. Then Amazon RDS takes a snapshot of the source instance and creates a read-only instance from the snapshot. Amazon RDS then uses the asynchronous replication method for the DB engine to update the Read Replica whenever there is a change to the source DB instance.
You can use the Read Replica promotion as a data recovery scheme if the source DB instance fails.
