The container for resource records in Route53 is called a hosted zone. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Hosted Zone.

In Amazon Route 53, a hosted zone is a container that holds information about how you want to route traffic for a specific domain, such as example.com. A hosted zone contains a collection of resource record sets (RRSets) that define DNS records for a domain. These DNS records define the routing of traffic to the correct resources, such as an IP address or another domain.

To create a hosted zone in Route 53, you first need to own a domain name. You can then create a hosted zone that corresponds to that domain name, and add the necessary DNS records to route traffic to the correct resources.

In contrast, a domain name is simply the human-readable name that corresponds to an IP address or other resource. A name server is a server that stores information about a domain name, including its corresponding IP address. Finally, a delegation set is a group of four name servers that are associated with a domain in Route 53.
