Answer: C

Explanation:

AWS CloudWatch supports the custom metrics. The user can always capture the custom data and upload the data to CloudWatch using CLI or APIs. The user can publish the data to CloudWatch as single data points or as an aggregated set of data points called a statistic set using the command put-metric-data. When sending the aggregate data, the user needs to send it with the parameter statistic-values:

aws cloudwatch put-metric-data –metric-name <Name> –namespace <Custom namespace> –timestamp <UTC Format> –statistic-values Sum=XX,Minimum=YY,Maximum=AA,SampleCount=BB –unit Milliseconds
