How AWS Trusted Advisor works:

Incorrect options:
Amazon Inspector - Amazon Inspector is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on your Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon Inspector automatically assesses applications for exposure, vulnerabilities, and deviations from best practices. Nevertheless, it does not provide best practice recommendations.
AWS Health Dashboard - Service health - AWS Health Dashboard - Service health publishes most up-to-the-minute information on the status and availability of all AWS services in tabular form for all Regions that AWS is present in. It does not provide best practice recommendations.
Amazon CloudWatch - Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability service built for DevOps engineers, developers, site reliability engineers (SREs), and IT managers. Amazon CloudWatch provides data and actionable insights to monitor applications, respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and get a unified view of operational health. This is an excellent service for building Resilient systems. Think resource performance monitoring, events, and alerts; think Amazon CloudWatch. Amazon CloudWatch does not provide best practice recommendations.
