D You must activate both types of tags separately before they can appear in Cost Explorer or on a cost allocation report. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/cost-alloc-tags.html

D. You need to activate the tags. It's not A because the question already said that resources has been tagged.

Selected Answer: D

You can use cost allocation tags to track your AWS costs on a detailed level. After you activate cost allocation tags, AWS uses the cost allocation tags to organize your resource costs on your cost allocation report, to make it easier for you to categorize and track your AWS costs.

To activate your tag keys 1) Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/. 2) In the navigation pane, choose Cost allocation tags. 3) Select the tag keys that you want to activate. 4) Choose Activate. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/activating-tags.html

A. Filter, map, and categorize resource groups in Tag Editor. By using the Tag Editor, the administrator can filter resources based on specific tags, map those resources to resource groups, and then categorize them according to the desired environment. This will allow them to visualize and analyze the cost allocation based on the tagged environments. Option D is incorrect because activating tag keys for cost allocation on the organization's management account is not a valid option. Tag activation is done on individual resources to enable cost allocation tagging, but it does not address the requirement of generating a breakdown of charges by environment.
