AIncorrect

AWS Cost Explorer

Cost Explorer is a tool that visualizes and analyzes past costs.

It is not a service for checking the operational status of services or events affecting the account, so it is incorrect.

BIncorrect

AWS IAM

IAM is a service that manages access permissions.

It is not a service for checking the operational status or events of services, so it is incorrect.

CIncorrect

AWS Trusted Advisor

Trusted Advisor is a service that inspects best practices and provides recommendations.

It is not a service for checking the operational status of services or events affecting the account, so it is incorrect.

DCorrect

AWS Health Dashboard

This is correct. AWS Health Dashboard is a service that lets you check the overall operational status of AWS services and events that may affect the resources in your own account (planned maintenance, outages, changes, and so on). You can grasp impactful events and use them to decide on your response.

Key Takeaway

"Service operational status" and "events affecting the account" mean AWS Health Dashboard. Its role differs from cost analysis (Cost Explorer) and recommendations (Trusted Advisor).
