B & E are correct. By default AWS ssm session manager doesn’t have permission to manage instances, you must first create Iam role with ssm privileges such as AWSEC2RoleforSSM which already has all the rights you need, then attach this to your instance. Your admin user must of course also have the appropriate rights from iam, either directly or through a group membership.

Correct Answer: A & E "B" is not clear about what the Role would be attached to. While "A" is complete about that, according to: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_iam-tags.html "You can attach this policy to the IAM users in your account. If a user named richard-roe attempts to start an Amazon EC2 instance, the instance must be tagged Owner=richard-roe or owner=richard-roe. Otherwise he will be denied access. The tag key Owner matches both Owner and owner because condition key names are not case-sensitive."
