Which solution will meet these requirements?

Explanations:

AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection from on-premises to AWS, but it typically involves longer setup times, often requiring several weeks to provision and establish. It is not suitable for a one-week deadline.

Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a service that allows users to create a virtual network within AWS, but it does not provide a direct network connection from on-premises to AWS. It is primarily a networking solution for managing resources within AWS.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN allows for a secure and encrypted connection between on-premises networks and AWS VPCs. It can be set up relatively quickly (within a week) and is designed for such use cases, making it the correct option.

Edge locations are part of the AWS CloudFront service for content delivery, not a networking solution for connecting on-premises infrastructure to AWS. They do not facilitate secure network connections.
