Probably A (cost explorer), but B (Trusted Advisor) could also be used , and yes tags (C) will be helpful as well. Refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/ce-what-is.html and https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/trusted-advisor/best-practice-checklist/ I would vote for A

A. Cost Explorer. "consolidated billing" "determine what's causing the increase." Cost Explorer shows what service is causing the increase. Cost Allocation Tags show which account is causing the increase.

Selected Answer: A

AWS Cost Explorer is the most comprehensive tool for analyzing and understanding the cost and usage patterns of AWS resources across multiple accounts in a consolidated billing scenario. It provides various cost and usage reports, visualizations, and insights that help you identify cost trends, understand cost drivers, and make informed decisions to optimize your AWS spending.

when it says tool, the answer should be A, tagging is used to help cost explorer to analyse the costing. B is for prediction, it is useful for cost planning.

I would say A (Cost Explorer) as it allows you to analyze your costs and you could find out what is causing these increased costs. B (Trusted Advisor) also has cost optimization but it is geared more towards where you are currently wasting money so how you could actually be paying less. It is not geared towards finding out a recent rise in costs. C and D are not comprehensive tools.
