Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: Consolidated billing has the following benefits:

  • One bill – You get one bill for multiple accounts.
  • Easy tracking – You can track the charges across multiple accounts and download the combined cost and usage data.
  • Combined usage – You can combine the usage across all accounts in the organization to share the volume pricing discounts and Reserved Instance discounts. This can result in a lower charge for your project, department, or company than with individual standalone accounts. For more information, see Volume Discounts.
  • No extra fee – Consolidated billing is offered at no additional cost. Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/consol…
