Full Certification Question

A financial services company is running an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance in a virtual private cloud (VPC) to store sensitive customer data. Due to strict security policies, the company has implemented a VPC that does not allow any network traffic to or from the internet. A security engineer at the company wants to use AWS Secrets Manager to automatically rotate the DB instance credentials for increased security. However, due to the company's security policy, the engineer is not allowed to use the standard AWS Lambda function provided by Secrets Manager to rotate the credentials. To address this issue, the security engineer deploys a custom Lambda function within the VPC. This function is responsible for rotating the secret in Secrets Manager. The security engineer also edits the DB instance's security group to allow connections from this custom Lambda function. However, when the function is invoked, it is unable to communicate with Secrets Manager and cannot rotate the secret. Which of the following options will address the given scenario?
