A company has an Amazon EC2 instance that supports a production system. The EC2 instance is backed by an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. The EBS volume's drive has filled to 100% capacity, which is causing the application on the EC2 instance to experience errors.
Which solution will remediate these errors in the LEAST amount of time?

A. Modify the EBS volume by adding additional drive space. Log on to the EC2 instance. Use the file system-specific commands to extend the file system.

B. Create a snapshot of the existing EBS volume. When the snapshot is complete, create an EBS volume of a larger size from the snapshot in the same Availability Zone as the EC2 instance. Attach the new EBS volume to the EC2 instance. Mount the file system.

C. Create a new EBS volume of a larger size in the same Availability Zone as the EC2 instance. Attach the EBS volume to the EC2 instance. Copy the data from the existing EBS volume to the new EBS volume.

D. Stop the EC2 instance. Change the EC2 instance to a larger instance size that includes additional drive space. Start the EC2 instance.
