    Chef and raj have it backwards. The question ask what will NOT cause a connection time out error. Both D and B can cause connection time out error.

    A is wrong. A security group that does not allow SSH connections will cause a connection time.
    D is wrong. A heavily loaded CPU can cause a connection time out as well.

    The correct answer is C. Using the wrong private key will generate a Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic) error. It will not generate a connection time out error.
