B In general, bucket owners pay for all Amazon S3 storage and data transfer costs associated with their bucket. A bucket owner, however, can configure a bucket to be a Requester Pays bucket. With Requester Pays buckets, the requester instead of the bucket owner pays the cost of the request and the data download from the bucket. The bucket owner always pays the cost of storing data. If you enable Requester Pays on a bucket, anonymous access to that bucket is not allowed. A\D: When the requester assumes an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role prior to making their request, the account to which the role belongs is charged for the request. C: This would incur additional cost of storing the data.

B. D doesn't work as if another account use cross-account role created under the bucket owner account, the bucket owner account is charged for the request.

Agree with everyone on B. Initially I thought it is D (assume IAM role) but later learnt that this will make the S3 bucket owner pay the cost!! Learnt this now.

B. To enable Requester Pays for an S3 bucket

Based on all comments

Answer is B

B. Ensure that all organizations in the partnership have AWS accounts. Create a bucket policy on the bucket that owns the data. The policy should allow the accounts in the partnership read access to the bucket. Enable Requester Pays on the bucket. Have the organizations use their AWS credentials when accessing the data.

B. To enable Requester Pays for an S3 bucket

B. To enable Requester Pays for an S3 bucket Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/. In the Buckets list, choose the name of the bucket that you want to enable Requester Pays for. Choose Properties. Under Requester pays, choose Edit. Choose Enable, and choose Save changes. Amazon S3 enables Requester Pays for your bucket and displays your Bucket overview. Under Requester pays, you see Enabled. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/RequesterPaysExamples.html

It's B - If requester pays is enabled then the request has to be authenticated and cannot assume a role to access the S3 bucket.
