You are using AWS Elastic Beanstalk to deploy your application and must make data stored on an Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume snapshot available to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. How can you modify your Elastic Beanstalk environment so that the data is added to the Amazon EC2 instances every time you deploy your application?
A) Add commands to a configuration file in the .ebextensions folder of your deployable archive that mount an additional Amazon EBS volume on launch. Also add a "BlockDeviceMappings" option, and specify the snapshot to use for the block device in the Auto Scaling launch configuration.
B) Add commands to a configuration file in the .ebextensions folder of your deployable archive that uses the create-volume Amazon EC2 API or CLI to create a new ephemeral volume based on the specified snapshot and then mounts the volume on launch.
C) Add commands to the Amazon EC2 user data that will be executed by eb-init, which uses the create- volume Amazon EC2 API or CLI to create a new Amazon EBS volume based on the specified snapshot, and then mounts the volume on launch.
D) Add commands to the Chef recipe associated with your environment, use the create-volume Amazon EC2 API or CLI to create a new Amazon EBS volume based on the specified snapshot, and then mount the volume on launch.

You can use the .ebextensions configuration files to specify additional resources and settings for your Elastic Beanstalk environment. By adding a "BlockDeviceMappings" option, you can specify the snapshot to use for the block device in the Auto Scaling launch configuration, ensuring that the EBS volume is attached to the EC2 instances every time they are launched.
