• E. Call the InviteAccountToOrganization operation in the Organizations API from the new developer organization's management account to send invitations to the developer accounts.
• F. Have each developer sign in to their account and confirm to join the new developer organization.

Correct answer: B, E, F

Explanation

To migrate accounts between AWS Organizations, you must first make them standalone by removing them from the old organization using the RemoveAccountFromOrganization API from the old management account. Next, the new organization's management account must issue handshake invitations using the InviteAccountToOrganization API. Finally, each developer account must log in and accept the invitation to complete the migration process.
