D.
Both core and task nodes
Answers
D.
Both core and task nodes
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

The best option for using Spot Instances in a long-running Amazon EMR cluster is to use them for the task nodes. Task nodes are optional nodes that are used to increase the processing power of the cluster. They do not store any data and can be added or removed without affecting the cluster's operation. Therefore, they are more resilient to interruptions caused by Spot Instance termination. Using Spot Instances for the master node or the core nodes is not recommended, as they store important data and metadata for the cluster. If they are terminated, the cluster may fail or lose data.References:
