Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
To specify resource-based permissions, you can attach a policy to the resource, such as an Amazon SNS topic, an Amazon S3 bucket, or an Amazon Glacier vault. In that case, the policy has to in-clude information about who is allowed to access the resource, known as the principal. (For user-based policies, the principal is the IAM user that the policy is attached to, or the user who gets the policy from a group.)

Selected Answer: D
In IAM (Identity and Access Management), a policy defines permissions and access control rules. A policy includes information about the entities or individuals that are allowed or denied access to AWS resources. The entity or individual is referred to as the "principal" in IAM. The principal can represent various entities, such as IAM users, IAM roles, AWS accounts, or federated users. The principal element in an IAM policy specifies the user or group to which the policy applies. It identifies who is allowed or denied access to the specified resources.
