D.Security groups
Security groups are instance-level firewall rules — configuration, not infrastructure.
E.IAM policies

AWS global infrastructure consists of Regions (geographic areas), Availability Zones (isolated data centers within Regions), and edge locations/CloudFront PoPs. Subnets and security groups are constructs you create inside a VPC.
