A.
The OS will shutdown but the instance will not be terminated due to protection

B.
It will terminate the instance

C.
It will not allow the user to shutdown the instance from the OS

D.
It is not possible to set the termination protection when an Instance initiated shutdown is set to Terminate

Explanation:
It is always possible that someone can terminate an EC2 instance using the Amazon EC2 console, command line
interface or API by mistake. If the admin wants to prevent the instance from being accidentally terminated, he can enable
termination protection for that instance. The user can also setup shutdown behaviour for an EBS backed instance to
guide the instance on what should be done when he initiates shutdown from the OS using Instance initiated shutdown
behaviour. If the instance initiated behaviour is set to terminate and the user shuts off the OS even though termination
protection is enabled, it will still terminate the instance.
