    D is the right answer.

    C is not correct because even after you request an increase you still have a limit even if it is higher. There is no special permission no remove the limit altogether.

    Answer: D

    Reason:
    Groups a user can be a member of: 10

    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.

    In the aws documentation, It mentions you could request to increase the groups per aws account, not the groups per aws user

    Roles in an instance profile: 1 (This limit of one role per instance cannot be increased.)

    User policy size cannot exceed 2,048 characters
    Role policy size cannot exceed 10,240 characters
    Group policy size cannot exceed 5,120 characters
    Note
