  • C. Verify that the access key attached to the role used by the instances is active.

Selected Answer: BE
Option A isn't necessary for resolving the issue described. MFA is generally used for human users to provide a second authentication factor, not for application roles used by EC2 instances. Option C is not appropriate because roles do not have access keys. Access keys are associated with IAM users, not roles. Option D isn't aligned with the principle of least privilege. Attaching the AmazonSQSFullAccess managed policy to the role used by the instances would give full access to SQS, which may be more permissions than necessary for the operation of the application.

It is B&E. You don't need access key once you use IAM role for EC2 instance.
