D. AWS access keys "Access keys are long-term credentials for an IAM user or the AWS account root user. You can use access keys to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI or AWS API (directly or using the AWS SDK)." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html

Although a user requires a password to access an AWS service's console, that same credential requires an access key pair to perform the same operations using the AWS CLI.

AWS Access Key Access keys are long-term credentials for an IAM user or the AWS account root user. You can use access keys to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI or AWS API (directly or using the AWS SDK).

Selected Answer: D
The minimum credential required to allow IT department users to access the AWS CLI is a valid set of AWS access keys. Option D, AWS access keys, consists of an access key ID and a secret access key that provide programmatic access to AWS services, including the AWS CLI. These keys are generated for an IAM user or an IAM role, and can be used to authenticate with the AWS CLI to access AWS resources

To access AWS services with the AWS CLI, you need an AWS account, IAM credentials, and an IAM access key pair. When running AWS CLI commands, the AWS CLI needs to have access to those AWS credentials. Ref link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-prereqs.html

Answer should be D. For CLI access, you need an access key ID and a secret access key. Use temporary credentials instead of long-term access keys when possible. Temporary credentials include an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security token that indicates when the credentials expire. Same ref link, further down on the page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-prereqs.html
