Answer – A and C
You can temporarily suspend the creation of new instances by either reducing the maximum capacity to 2 so that the current instances running which is 2 matches the maximum limit.
Secondly, you can suspend the launch process of the Autoscaling Groups.
The AWS Documentation mentions.
Scaling Processes
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling supports the following scaling processes:
Launch
Adds a new EC2 instance to the group, increasing its capacity.
Warning
If you suspend Launch, this disrupts other processes. For example, you can`t return an instance in a standby state to service if the Launch process is suspended, because the group can`t scale.
