A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to track the costs and deliver the notifications. Which solution will meet these requirements?

- BIn the organization's management account, set up the organizational view feature for AWS
- CRegister the organization with AWS Control Tower. Activate the optional cost control (guardrail).

Explanation
To track organizational AWS costs and deliver email notifications when a daily budget threshold is exceeded, create an organizational budget in AWS Budgets from the management account.
Common mistakes.
- B. AWS Cost Explorer provides visualization and analysis of costs with an organizational view, but it does not offer the functionality to create budget-based alerts with specific percentage thresholds and automated email notifications directly.
- C. AWS Control Tower helps set up and govern multi-account environments with guardrails, but its cost control features are generally focused on preventing resource creation or enforcing tagging, rather than granular daily monetary budget tracking and threshold-based email alerts like AWS Budgets.
- D. Configuring member accounts to save AWS Cost and Usage Reports to S3 and then processing them with a Lambda function is a custom, complex solution that requires significant development and maintenance effort, making it less efficient than using the native AWS Budgets service for this common requirement.
