Your organization has placed a project on hold and has stopped 30 public EC2 instances. These instances use instance store volumes and do not have custom AMIs associated. You are still being charged every month. What is the charge probably for?
A.
AWS charges for dormant accounts.
B.
You have Elastic IPs associated with those instances.
C.
There is a "stopped instance" fee that AWS charges every month.
Instance store volumes are deleted when the instance is terminated https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/instance-store-vs-ebs/
Most appropriate answer is B but it should mentioned "unattached EIPs" as attached EIPs are not charged for
Since the question highlights all the stopped instances are public-facing and also, it highlights that all the instances use Instance Store, therefore, the most suitable answer is B without doubt.
However, when we turn to the "feasible answer" instead of the "best answer" then option #D could be a candidate. The main reason is that Instance Store is used for cache this kind of non-permanent data, the OS still has to be installed in the permanent drive which is the EBS volume in this case.
The questiion says "instance store volumes" not EBS, so D will be wrong. C is wrong, instances wer terminated. Although the question does not mention that the instances have associated elastic ips, option B would be the one that would make sense
There was no mention of Elastic IP, you're being charged because of the EBS

The cost of instance store is included in the EC2 instance. The charge will stop once EC2 instance stops. So the answer is B.
