Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The AWS Documentation mentions the following as a best practices for IAM users. For extra security, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for privileged IAM users (users who are allowed access to sensitive resources or APIs). With MFA, users have a device that generates unique authentication code (a one-time password, or OTP). Users must provide both their normal credentials (like their user name and password) and the OTP. The MFA device can either be a special piece of hardware, or it can be a virtual device (for example, it can run in an app on a smartphone). Option B,C and D are invalid because no such security options are available in AWS For more information on IAM best practices, please visit the below URL https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html The correct answer is:

Enable MFA for these user accounts
