Answer: D

Explanation:

Consolidate your accounts so you have a single bill for all accounts and projects (Consolidation will not help limit per account) Set up auto scaling with CloudWatch alarms using SNS to notify you when you are running too many Instances in a given account (many instances do not directly map to cost and would not give exact cost). Set up CloudWatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each project, with a notification occurring when the amount for each resource tagged to a particular project matches the budget allocated to the project. (as each project already has an account, no need for resource tagging).
