CORRECT ANSWER: C A:requires additional setup and management of the scheduling and scripting. It does not natively integrate with AWS for vulnerability scanning and might require additional tools. B: not operationally efficient, especially for regular updates and automated vulnerability scanning. D: lacks the built-in capabilities of EC2 Image Builder for defining recipes and performing vulnerability scans.
