key word --> initial configuration So, Answer is A

the answer is A - granularity

AWS Cost Categories is a feature within AWS Cost Management product suite that enables you to group cost and usage information into meaningful categories based on your needs. AWS Cost Categories enables users to define category rules to map and categorize costs using billing dimensions such as accounts and tags. For example, customers can map specific accounts and tags to multiple projects and track costs based on them. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/11/introducing-aws-cost-categories/

Cost allocation tags are used to track AWS costs on a detailed level. By activating cost allocation tags and adding a project tag to the appropriate resources, the financial department will be able to view the cost details of each project in Cost Explorer. https://wa.aws.amazon.com/wat.concept.costalloctag.en.html#:~:text=You%20can%20use%20tags%20to,and%20track%20your%20AWS%20costs.

A is correct

Option A, which suggests activating cost allocation tags and adding a project tag to the appropriate resources, is also a valid solution for tracking costs based on tags. However, using cost categories provides more flexibility and granularity in categorizing and viewing costs. With cost categories, you can define custom groups based on multiple dimensions such as services, linked accounts, tags, and more. This allows you to categorize your costs at a more granular level and view cost details for each project in Cost Explorer. So while option A is a valid solution, option D provides more flexibility and granularity in viewing cost details per project.

D is the correct answer. Cost categories in AWS Cost Explorer allow you to create custom groups based on AWS cost and usage dimensions such as services, linked accounts, tags, and more. By using cost categories, you can categorize your costs at a granular level, such as by project, and view cost details for each project in Cost Explorer. This enables the financial department to analyze and monitor costs specific to each project. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/billing-what-is.html Option A: Activating cost allocation tags and adding project tags to resources allows you to track costs based on tags, but it does not provide the granularity and flexibility of cost categories for viewing cost details per project.

A is the correct answer
