  • B. Every restart is charged by AWS as a separate hour, while multiple start/stop actions during a single hour will be counted as a single hour

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
For an EC2 instance launched with an EBS backed AMI, each time the instance state is changed from stop to start/ running, AWS charges a full instance hour, even if these transitions happen multiple times within a single hour. Anyway, rebooting an instance AWS does not charge a new instance billing hour.

Outdated question/answers. AWS charges you for the full minute after changing from stop to starting/running not the full hour as in the reference bellow: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-lifecycle.html#lifecycle-differences

"You stop incurring charges for an instance as soon as its state changes to stopping. Each time an instance transitions from stopped to running, we start a new instance billing period, billing a minimum of one minute every time you start your instance. "
