Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
In AWS, you pay only for what you use.
EC2 pricing is per instance-second consumed, or per instance-hour consumed depending on the in-stance type and operating system for the AMI. For example, spot instances, reserved instances and on-demand instances are billed per-second, while Dedicated instances are billed per hour.
Linux instances can be billed per second, but Microsoft Windows instances are billed per hour.
