Explanation
Option A: Monitoring alone provides visibility but does not address the root cause or prevent potential security risks from misconfigured IAM roles. Option B: Adding a condition that enforces least-privilege policies ensures that IAM roles are configured to minimize unnecessary permissions. This is a proactive approach to reducing the risk of unauthorized access while aligning with best practices for identity and access Option C: Auto-remediation by deletion is overly aggressive and may disrupt legitimate operations, especially in production environments. Option D: While alerts provide visibility, they do not actively enforce secure configurations. This action is insufficient for preventing unauthorized access.
