    C is the right answer.
    Provisioned IOPS (PIOPS) is the highest-performance SSD volume designed for mission-critical applications. Max. IOPS**/Volume is 20,000 so even in peak time the demands are fulfilled. Moreover, Cassandra is highly supported with Provisioned IOPS so C is the best choice.
