The correct answer is: C. Amazon Route 53.

Amazon Route 53 is a Domain Name System (DNS) web service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is region-based, which means it operates within specific AWS regions.

Route 53 is a highly available and scalable service that is designed to route end users to Internet applications, such as websites or web services. It provides DNS resolution services for both public and private domain names, including internal Amazon EC2 instance names.

IAM (A) - AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a global service. It is not region-specific, and user accounts, policies, and permissions can be managed from any AWS region.

Amazon EFS (B) - Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a regional service. It provides a file system that can be shared among multiple Amazon EC2 instances in the same region.

CloudFront (D) - Amazon CloudFront is a global content delivery network (CDN) service. It distributes content globally from AWS edge locations, which are spread across the world. However, CloudFront does have regional configurations that allow for customizations to be applied to specific regions, but it still operates globally.
