Option D is the way to go! Retaining the instances and their data is crucial, especially when someone tries to delete the stack. Deleting a stack doesn't have to mean losing everything.

I disagree, I believe the answer is A. Setting the DeletionPolicy to Snapshot will create a snapshot of the instance, ensuring data persistence.

I think the answer is D, because setting the DeletionPolicy to Retain will keep the instances and data even if the stack is deleted.
