Selected Answer: C
The correct answer is C. GetSessionToken. IAM users can call the GetSessionToken API without needing any special permissions by default. The GetSessionToken operation allows IAM users to request temporary security credentials, also known as session tokens, for themselves. These session tokens can be used to authenticate and authorize requests to AWS services. By calling GetSessionToken, IAM users can obtain temporary credentials that have a limited duration, typically one hour. These temporary credentials can then be used to access AWS resources based on the permissions assigned to the IAM user. On the other hand, GetFederationToken is used by IAM users or AWS account root users to request temporary security credentials for federated users or roles they assume. It requires specific permissions to be granted to the IAM user or the AWS account root user. Therefore, the correct answer is C. GetSessionToken.
