Selected Answer: B

AWS Systems Manager Inventory integrates with AWS Config to record inventory data for historical views, change tracking, or auditing. When you use AWS Config recording for systems inventory data you can enable scenarios such as tracking newly installed or removed software applications, assessing security risks, troubleshooting, and tracking license usage. Additionally, you can create AWS Config Rules to define compliance rules based on inventory data (such as, detecting a blacklisted application) and take remediation action (such as sending email notifications or running an AWS Lambda function to uninstall the application) automatically.
