Answer: B,D

Explanation:

You can use AWS Config to monitor for such Event

Option A is invalid because you cannot set Cloudwatch events based on Trusted Advisor checks.

Option C is invalid Amazon inspector cannot be used to check whether instances are launched from a specific A

Option E is invalid because triggering a CLI command is not the preferred option, instead you should use Lambda functions for all automation purposes.

For more information on Config Rules please see the below Link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/evaluate-config-rules.html These events can then trigger a lambda function to terminate instances For more information on Cloudwatch events please see the below Link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/WhatlsCloudWatchEvents.
