Correct Answer: "B. Verify that a metric filter was created and then mapped to an alarm. Check the alarm notification action." If you check this link: https://docs.fugue.co/FG_R00056.html You will see that in order to have Alarms configured you also need to set "Metric filters"

Answer is B: Verify that a metric filter was created and then mapped to an alarm. Check the alarm notification action. We need to check two things: metric data, and alarm A: No need to check the access permission to S3 C: We need check metric is configure correctly in CloudWatch alarm, not in Dashboard D: Not relate to IAM
