This on is tricky but I'll go for C. 1. You don't modify, you request an increase in your quota 2. Option B i'ts too much general... there's no such EC2 Instance Quota per Region, the quota it's per instance family.

Selected Answer: C

service limits(=quota) are preconfigured thresholds set by AWS to control resource usage by individual accounts -> need AWS request capacity limits refer to the available resources within an AWS service or region, -> modify instance type, etc

Selected Answer: C

The error message is suggesting that the account has hit its limit on the number of running EC2 instances. Therefore, the solution is to request a limit increase for the number of instances.
