You can use AWS Config to monitor for such Event
Option A is invalid because you cannot set Cloudwatch events based on Trusted Advisor checks.
Option C is invalid Amazon inspector cannot be used to check whether instances are launched from a specific A
Option E is invalid because triggering a CLI command is not the preferred option, instead you should use Lambda functions for all automation purposes.
For more information on Config Rules please see the below Link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/evaluate-config-rules.html
These events can then trigger a lambda function to terminate instances For more information on Cloudwatch events please see the below Link:
