Correct Answer: B AWS DML works only for EBS-Backed AMIs "Important: Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager cannot be used to manage snapshots or AMIs that are created by any other means. Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager cannot be used to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of instance store-backed AMIs." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/snapshot-lifecycle.html
