Correct answers: A, D

Explanation

Correct Answers:

Have each user set up multifactor authentication once they have logged in to the console and Generate a password for each user and give these passwords to your system administrators are correct. You should generate a password for each user and give these passwords to your system administrators. You should then have each user set up multifactor authentication once they have been able to log in to the console.


Incorrect Answers:

Give the system administrators the secret access key and access key ID, and tell them to use these credentials to log in to the AWS console is incorrect because you cannot use the secret access key and access key ID to log in to the AWS console; rather, these credentials are used to call Amazon APIs.

Get the systems administrators to download the CLI and configure it on their laptop, using their usernames and passwords is incorrect because for the AWS CLI, you need an access key ID and secret access key.
