Seems like A: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-concepts.html#xray-concepts-annotations When you instrument your application, the X-Ray SDK records information about incoming and outgoing requests, the AWS resources used, and the application itself. You can add other information to the segment document as annotations and metadata. Annotations and metadata are aggregated at the trace level, and can be added to any segment or subsegment. Annotations are simple key-value pairs that are indexed for use with filter expressions. Use annotations to record data that you want to use to group traces in the console, or when calling the GetTraceSummaries API. X-Ray indexes up to 50 annotations per trace. Metadata are key-value pairs with values of any type, including objects and lists, but that are not indexed. Use metadata to record data you want to store in the trace but don't need to use for searching traces. You can view annotations and metadata in the segment or subsegment details in the X-Ray console.

Selected Answer: A

I also believe its A based on this link. I would chose A over B because it mentions the information needs to be indexed and Annotations are indexed while metadata is not. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-concepts.html#xray-concepts-annotations
