Solution
Correct answer: B) Virtual private gateway and D) Customer gateway.
Virtual private gateway (VGW): This is the VPN endpoint on the AWS side of the Site-to-Site VPN connection. It's the VPN concentrator on the AWS side that enables communication between your on-premises network and your VPC(s) in the AWS cloud.
Customer gateway (CGW): This represents the customer-side VPN endpoint, typically a physical device or a software appliance installed in the customer's data center or network. It's the VPN device on your side of the Site-to-Site VPN connection that connects your on-premises network to the AWS cloud.
The other options listed are not directly related to Site-to-Site VPN connections:
AWS Storage Gateway is a service that connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage to provide seamless and secure integration between on-premises environments and AWS cloud storage.
NAT gateway is a managed AWS service that provides network address translation (NAT) for instances in private subnets within a VPC.
Internet gateway is a horizontally scaled, redundant, and highly available VPC component that allows communication between instances in a VPC and the internet.
