Answer options

Correct answer: Use AWS account root user for daily activities

Explanation

Quick AnswerThe correct answer is Use AWS account root user for daily activities because it directly addresses the core logic of AWS Cloud.

Using the root account for daily activities is a security anti-pattern. Best practice is to lock away root credentials, use IAM users/roles with least privilege, and enable MFA.
