Explanation

To allocate and visualize cloud costs per business unit across an AWS Organization, the existing 'BusinessUnit' tag must be activated as a cost allocation tag in the organization's management account.

• C. Simply creating a cost allocation tag is insufficient; it must be explicitly activated in the AWS Billing console for it to be recognized and used for cost allocation.
• D. Similar to B, activating cost allocation tags in each member account is redundant and incorrect when the organization's management account can activate them centrally.
