Selected Answer: B
B. On-Demand Instances "We recommend that you use On-Demand Instances for applications with short-term, irregular workloads that cannot be interrupted." "There is no long-term commitment required when you purchase On-Demand Instances. You pay only for the seconds that your On-Demand Instances are in the running state, with a 60-second minimum." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-on-demand-instances.html

Selected Answer: B
Since the instances cannot be interrupted, Spot Instances cannot be used. On-Demand Instances do not provide any discounts or benefits for long-term usage. Compute Savings Plans and Convertible Reserved Instances offer cost savings for longer-term usage. However, since the instances are only run for 3 hours each week, it may be more cost-effective to use On-Demand Instances rather than purchasing any instance reservation or savings plan. Therefore, the MOST cost-effective instance purchasing option for this requirement is B. On-Demand Instances.
