    There is a problem for answer A. Every instance requires a certificate which should include the intance-id. But if every new launched instance gets the certificate from S3 all of them will get the same certificate which doesnot include their own instance-id.

    I have no idea about the answer. Maybe C! Because in B and D, it requires the KMS to send the certificate to new launghed intances. KMS cannot do that.
