AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 252

Which task requires a user to sign in as the AWS account root user?

Answer options

• A. The deletion of IAM users
• B. The deletion of an AWS account
• C. The creation of an organization in AWS Organizations
• D. The deletion of Amazon EC2 instances

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as only the root user has the necessary permissions to delete an entire AWS account. Other tasks, such as deleting IAM users or Amazon EC2 instances, can be performed by users with sufficient IAM permissions, and creating an organization in AWS Organizations does not require root access.
