Which statement about the AWS Free Tier is correct?
A.All services are free for the first year
Only specific offers are free — with usage caps.
B.Some offers expire after 12 months (e.g., EC2 hours), while others are always free (e.g., monthly Lambda requests)
Correct. 12-month vs always-free vs trials is the exam's distinction.
C.The free tier requires a paid support plan
Basic (free) support works with free tier.
D.Free tier usage is unlimited
Every free offer has a defined usage limit.
Why this answer
Free tier has three offer types: 12-month-free (EC2 750 hrs/mo, S3 5 GB...), always-free (Lambda 1M requests/mo, DynamoDB 25 GB...), and short-term trials. Exceeding limits bills normally.
