Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct solution to ensure that other departments cannot share the Reserved Instance (RI) discounts purchased by the HR department is to use the AWS Billing and Cost Management console with the organization’s management account to turn off RI sharing for the HR department's production AWS account. This approach effectively isolates the RI benefits to the HR department's production account only.Discussion
