Selected Answer: B
The key considerations are: The company needs flexibility to change EC2 instance types and families every 2-3 months. This rules out Reserved Instances which lock you into an instance type and family for 1-3 years. A Compute Savings Plan allows switching instance types and families freely within the term as needed. No Upfront is more flexible than All Upfront. A 1-year term balances commitment and flexibility better than a 3-year term given the company's changing needs. With No Upfront, the company only pays for usage monthly without an upfront payment. This optimizes cost.
