D. AWS Cost Explorer
AWS Cost Explorer is a service that allows a company to view and analyze their AWS costs and usage. It provides a wide range of cost and usage reports, including a cost graph that shows the historical and current costs for the company's AWS account. This service allows the company to view costs by service, by tag, by time, by linked account, and by other dimensions. Cost Explorer also enables the company to set custom budgets, alerts and to view trends and forecasts.
A. AWS Config: AWS Config is a service that provides an inventory of AWS resources and configuration history. It is not a cost management service.
B. AWS Cost and Usage Report: The AWS Cost and Usage Report provides detailed cost and usage information for all services and it's a great resource for cost allocation and for identifying trends. But it does not provide visualization capabilities
C. AWS Budgets: AWS Budgets is a service that allows the company to set custom budgets and alerts for costs, usage, and RI utilization. It does not provide visualization capabilities.

"AWS Cost Explorer has an easy-to-use interface that lets you visualize, understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage over time. Get started quickly by creating custom reports that analyze cost and usage data. Analyze your data at a high level (for example, total costs and usage across all accounts), or dive deeper into your cost and usage data to identify trends, pinpoint cost drivers, and detect anomalies."

D. AWS Cost Explorer (100%)
The AWS Cost and Usage Reports (AWS CUR) contains the most comprehensive set of cost and usage data available. You can use Cost and Usage Reports to publish your AWS billing reports to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket that you own. AWS updates the report in your bucket once a day in comma-separated value (CSV) format.
AWS Cost Explorer has an easy-to-use interface that lets you visualize ( keyword = graph), understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage over time. After you enable Cost Explorer, AWS prepares the data about your costs for the "current month" and the last 12 months (historical), and then calculates the forecast for the next 12 months. The current month's data is available for viewing in about 24 hours. The rest of your data takes a few days longer. Cost Explorer updates your cost data at least once every 24 hours.
Yes Eagle01 you are correct - it seems like I made a mistake here - I didn’t pay attention to the the graph part which conveys to Cost explorer. Apologies. So answer D it shall be.
AWS Cost and Usage Reports tracks your AWS usage and provides estimated charges associated with your account. Each report contains line items for each unique combination of AWS products, usage type, and operation that you use in your AWS account. You can customize the AWS Cost and Usage Reports to aggregate the information either by the hour, day, or month.
