Option B is INCORRECT because AWS Bills will list the historical costs that would have been incurred over the past month with granular options. The tool will not give the usage-based forecasts as specified in the question.
Option C is INCORRECT because AWS Reports will give a composite overview of costs and usage. The tool gives a granular perspective of usage and billing but without usage-based forecasts.
Option D is INCORRECT because AWS Reports and Cost & Usage Reports are the same tool. Option
C. explanation outlines why it is inaccurate as a response to the question.
