AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 506

The Statement element, of an AWS IAM policy, contains an array of individual statements. Each individual statement is a(n) _________ block enclosed in braces
{ }.

Answer options

• A. XML
• B. JavaScript
• C. JSON
• D. AJAX

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies are written and structured using the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. Consequently, the individual statement blocks nested within the Statement array are represented as JSON objects enclosed in curly braces. Other formats such as XML, pure JavaScript, or AJAX are not used to define IAM policies.
