CorrectD
Explanation
Identify the service that compares against best practices and recommends improvements.
- 1「checks an AWS environment against best practices」Comparing recommendations against the environment = Trusted Advisor

- 3「provides improvement recommendations」Presents specific improvement actions
BIncorrect
AWS CloudTrail
CloudTrail is a service that records a history of API operations.
It does not provide recommendations by comparing against best practices, so this is incorrect.
CIncorrect
Amazon Inspector
Inspector is a service that scans EC2 instances and images for vulnerabilities.
It does not provide broad cross-cutting recommendations covering cost and fault tolerance, so this is incorrect.
DCorrect
AWS Trusted Advisor
Correct. AWS Trusted Advisor automatically checks an AWS environment across 6 categories—cost optimization, performance, security, fault tolerance, service quotas, and operational excellence—and recommends improvements aligned with best practices. The scope of checks varies by support plan.
Key Takeaway
'Best practice inspection', '6 categories: cost/performance/security/fault tolerance/quotas + operational excellence', and 'improvement recommendations' all point to AWS Trusted Advisor. The scope of checks changes by support plan (higher plans unlock all checks).
