A user has enabled the CloudWatch alarm to estimate the usage charges. If the user disables moni-toring of the estimated charges but does not delete the billing alert from the AWS account, what will happen?

A. The user cannot edit the existing billing alarm.
B. The data collection on estimated charges is stopped.
C. It is not possible to disable monitoring of the estimated charges.
D. AWS will stop sending the billing alerts to the user.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation: To create an alarm on the estimated AWS usage charges, a user must enable monitoring of estimated AWS charges. This enables creating the metric data, which will be used to create a billing alarm. Once the estimated charges monitoring is enabled, the user cannot disable it. The user has to delete the alarms to stop receiving any notifications on billing. Reference:
