A company recently purchased Savings Plans. The company wants to receive email notification when the company’s utilization drops below 90% for a given day.
Which solution will meet this requirement?
A.
Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to monitor the Savings Plan check in AWS Trusted Advisor. Configure an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue for email notification when the utilization drops below 90% for a given day.
B.
Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to monitor the SavingsPlansUtilization metric under the AWS/SavingsPlans namespace in CloudWatch. Configure an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue for email notification when the utilization drops below 90% for a given day.
C.
Create a Savings Plans alert to monitor the daily utilization of the Savings Plans. Configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic for email notification when the utilization drops below 90% for a given day.
D.
Use AWS Budgets to create a Savings Plans budget to track the daily utilization of the Savings Plans. Configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic for email notification when the utilization drops below 90% for a given day.
It's D.
You need to use AWS Budgets to manage savings plans. Thresholds and recipients are specified in the settings of your created budget.

From he Savings Plan Guide:
Using budgets
You can use AWS Budgets to set budgets for your Savings Plan utilization, coverage, and costs. You can track your costs as you continue to optimize through AWS.

I vote C
Note that D may track the daily utilization of the Savings Plans, but it does not specify how to monitor the utilization and send email notifications when it drops below 90%.
Managing your Savings Plans alerts
You can track your Savings Plans expirations and upcoming queued Savings Plans in Cost Explorer. You can use Savings Plans alerts to receive advance email alerts 1, 7, 30, or 60 days before your Savings Plan expiration date, or in when a commitment is queued for purchase. These notifications also alert you on the expiration date, and can be sent to up to 10 email recipients.
Yes, it only notifies you about expiration, but you can't be notified with this feature when the utilizaion trops below a percentage. For that you need to use AWS Budgets.
The answer is definitely D, not C. Here is the documentation on how to create a daily Savings Plan budget with SNS notification:
