per instance-hour only
B. per instance-minute or instance-hour
C. per instance-second or per instance-hour
D. per instance-minute only

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation: In AWS, you pay only for what you use. EC2 pricing is per instance-second consumed, or per instance-hour consumed depending on the in-stance type and operating system for the AMI. For example, spot instances, reserved instances and on-demand instances are billed per-second, while Dedicated instances are billed per hour. Linux instances can be billed per second, but Microsoft Windows instances are billed per hour. Reference:
