Answer options

• A. It is not possible to setup detailed monitoring for Auto Scaling
• B. In this case, Auto Scaling will send data every minute and will charge the user extra
• C. Detailed monitoring will send data every minute without additional charges
• D. Auto Scaling sends data every minute only and does not charge the user

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because enabling detailed monitoring for Auto Scaling indeed results in data being sent every minute, which incurs additional costs. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they either state falsehoods about monitoring capabilities or the associated charges.
