Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Organizations SCPs
(AWS Organizations SCPs) is correct. Service Control Policies (SCPs) can be used to enforce tagging rules across all accounts in an organization by denying actions that don't meet tagging requirements. Option B (AWS Service Catalog) is used for creating and managing approved IT services, not for enforcing tagging rules. Option C (AWS Resource Access Manager) is for sharing resources across accounts, not for enforcement. Option D (AWS Systems Manager) is for operational management, not for governance policies.
