D. Limit is 10. However…
Currently you can request to increase the limit on users per AWS account, groups per AWS account, roles per AWS account, instance profiles per AWS account, and server certificates per AWS account.
D is wrong, because you can’t increase the number of users attached to a group.
You can request to increase some of these quotas for your AWS account on the IAM Limit Increase Contact Us Form. Currently you can request to increase the limit on users per AWS account, groups per AWS account, roles per AWS account, instance profiles per AWS account, and server certificates per AWS account.
It is A.

I think MP is right. The increase request would be to add to the 100 groups in the default AWS set up. tricky.
There’s a limit to the number of groups you can have, and a limit to how many groups a user can be in. For more information, see Limitations on IAM Entities and Objects.

So far haven’t found the answer to ‘how any users can be in a group?’ Is it unlimited?
Also looked through the contents the above links point to.
