Move on-premises network hardware to VPCs.

Design elasticity into the AWS Cloud design.

Answers are
C. Decouple the AWS Cloud architecture to break up monolithic deployments.
E. Design elasticity into the AWS Cloud design.

Architecture is not about moving physical devices

D is so wrong. We don't move any hardware devices to cloud. Cloud provides a virtual data center for us, with a log of network services for customer's varied needs. But customers don't move their network devices to AWS.

C is a bit confusing as I was going through some documentations, Monolithic deployments are related to containers and microservices but not with well architected framework. Loose coupling is definitely a principle of the framework, but the wording of question throws you off here because it mentions monolithic deployments and not monolithic applications - two different concept.
