Answer options

Explanation

AWS SNS (Simple Notification Service) is the standard service used by Amazon CloudWatch to send alerts and notifications to subscribers when alarm thresholds are met. AWS EBS is a block storage service, AWS SQS is a message queuing service, and AWS SES is for transactional and bulk email, none of which are the primary destination for direct CloudWatch alarm notifications.
