Amazon S3 does indeed have a maximum file size limit for individual objects, which is 5 terabytes (TB). While S3 is designed to handle an incredibly large amount of data and a high request rate, it imposes this limitation on the size of each object stored in a bucket. For objects larger than 5GB, it's necessary to use the multipart upload feature, allowing users to upload large files in smaller, more manageable parts. This capability facilitates working with larger objects, while still adhering to the maximum size constraint established by Amazon S3.

Other options do not accurately reflect how S3 handles file sizes. The notion of it providing unlimited file size or being contingent solely on specific object types or storage classes is inconsistent with the established limitations on object sizes in S3's architecture.
