Solution
Correct answer: D. AWS only.
In the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure, including the hardware, software, and networking components. The customer, on the other hand, is responsible for managing the guest operating system, including patching and updating it. However, in the case of EC2 instances, AWS handles the patching of the host operating system, while the customer is responsible for patching the guest operating system.
