Why Option C is Correct:Amazon Verified Permissions provides fine-grained access control capabilities, making it ideal for managing complex user permissions. It integrates with OIDC IdPs for authentication and allows applications to request authorization decisions dynamically. It is also easily adaptable to newer applications.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

Option A: Cognito identity pools do not natively support fine-grained permission analysis or management.

Option B: Managing permissions in application logic adds significant operational overhead.

Option D: IAM roles are not designed for application-specific fine-grained access control and are more suitable for resource-level permissions.

Amazon Verified Permissions

This is a cross-account access pattern using STS AssumeRole. Account A owns the DynamoDB table and has created an IAM role (AccessPII) with permissions to access the table. Account A also configured a trust policy that allows principals from Account B to assume the role. That trust policy alone is not enough; the caller in Account B must also be allowed to call sts:AssumeRole.

Therefore, in Account B, the EC2 instance profile role (the role attached to the EC2 instances running the app) must have permission to assume the role in Account A. That is Option A.

Next, the application must actually obtain temporary credentials for the Account A role. The standard way is to call STS AssumeRole in the application logic (or use an SDK credential provider that assumes a role). This yields temporary credentials that have the permissions of the AccessPII role, allowing DynamoDB access in Account A. That is Option D.

Option B is not correct because granting direct DynamoDB table permissions in Account B does not grant access to a table owned by Account A unless Account A also grants access via a resource policy (DynamoDB resource policies exist but the scenario already sets up role assumption; the intended solution is AssumeRole).

Option C is incomplete/wrong: getting temporary credentials from the EC2 role alone gives permissions of the EC2 role in Account B, not the permissions in Account A. You must assume the cross-account role.

Option E is for IAM user MFA session tokens, not cross-account role assumption for an EC2 role.

Therefore, grant sts:AssumeRole to the EC2 role and call AssumeRole in code.
