A company is running a multi-tier ecommerce web application in the AWS Cloud. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances with an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance. Amazon RDS is configured with the latest generation DB instance with 2,000 GB of storage in a General Purpose SSD (gp3) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. The database performance affects the application during periods of high demand.

What should a solutions architect do to improve the application performance?

A. Replace the volume with a magnetic volume.

B. Increase the number of IOPS on the gp3 volume.

C. Replace the volume with a Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) volume.
