A Developer has an application that can upload tens of thousands of objects per second to Amazon S3 in parallel within a single AWS account. As part of new requirements, data stored in S3 must use server side encryption with AWS KMS (SSE-KMS). After creating this change, performance of the application is slower. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause of the application latency?
A) Amazon S3 throttles the rate at which uploaded objects can be encrypted using Customer Master Keys.
B) The AWS KMS API calls limit is less than needed to achieve the desired performance.
C) The client encryption of the objects is using a poor algorithm.
D) KMS requires that an alias be used to create an independent display name that can be mapped to a CMK.

AWS KMS has a limit on the number of API requests per second, which can cause throttling and lead to latency if the application exceeds this limit when encrypting a large number of objects.
