agree with haxaffee, Common reasons for stack operation failure Problem: A stack operation failed, and the stack instance status is OUTDATED. Cause: There can be several common causes for stack operation failure. The template could be trying to create global resources that must be unique but aren't, such as S3 buckets.

if Cloudformation want´s to create a new S3 Bucket with a name but this name is always in use by another S3 Bucket. Bucket Names must be unique globaly.

Selected Answer: B

why not C. The stack has not yet been deployed to the Region. Because : If the stack had not been deployed, the status would not be OUTDATED. Instead, it would indicate that the stack instance is in a state like NOT_CREATED or ROLLBACK_COMPLETE.
