I think B, C, D could deploy EC2. However, since your delegating a standard config to business units, I'd lean towards using a Service Catalog product as a frontend for CloudFormation templates in the background. I think the URL demonstrates usage for EC2. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/adminguide/getstarted-CFN.html

Im going with service catalogue on this one. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/adminguide/what-is_concepts.html#what-is_concepts-product A product is an IT service that you want to make available for deployment on AWS. A product consists of one or more AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, storage volumes, databases, monitoring configurations, and networking components, or packaged AWS Marketplace products. A product can be a single compute instance running AWS Linux, a fully configured multi-tier web application running in its own environment, or anything in between.

The correct answer is to use AWS Service Catalog to publish a product and launch constraint role for EC2 instances. This allows business units to use only approved EC2 instance configurations. Other options do not provide the necessary control over the instance configurations. Ans: C
