Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Spring doc:
EnableAspectJAutoProxy

Enables support for handling components marked with AspectJ's @Aspect annotation.

To be used on @Configuration classes as follows:

https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/context/annotation/EnableAspectJAutoProxy.html


Wrongs answers:

@Configuration does not contain such enableAspectJAutoProxy attribute.


There is no @AspectJConfiguration .


@Aspectis used to define aspects, not to enable aspect support.


More on AOP:

https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/2.5.x/reference/aop.html


Note:
I think it's worth adding, that

If AspectJ is on the classpath, Spring Boot’s auto-configuration will automatically enable AspectJ auto proxy such that @EnableAspectJAutoProxy is not required.
