Selected Answer: C

The AWS best practice for using the AWS account root user credentials is to use them only when they alone must be used to perform a required function. This means that the root user credentials should be used sparingly and only when no other user or permission can perform the necessary action. Using the root user credentials for normal activities or limiting their use to specific tasks like creating private VPC subnets or using them only for Amazon EC2 instances from the AWS Free Tier is not recommended. These practices increase the risk of credential misuse or compromise, which can lead to security breaches and other issues. Therefore, option C is the correct answer
