A company has two redundant AWS Direct Connect connections to a VPC. The VPC is configured using BGP metrics so that one Direct Connect connection is used as the primary traffic path. The company wants the primary Direct Connect connection to fail to the secondary in less than one second. What should be done to meet this requirement?
A) Configure BGP on the company's router with a keep-alive to 300 ms and the BGP hold timer to 900 ms.
B) Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the company's router with a detection minimum interval of 300 ms and a BFD liveness detection multiplier of 3.
C) Enable Dead Peer Detection (DPD) on the company's router with a detection minimum interval of 300 ms and a DPD liveliness detection multiplier of 3.
D) Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) echo mode on the company's router and disable sending the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) IP packet requests.

BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) is designed for fast failure detection of paths between forwarding engines, and setting a minimum interval of 300 ms with a multiplier of 3 allows for rapid detection and failover in less than one second.
