Refer to the exhibit. A data scientist is trying to create a SageMaker training job but receives an access denied error. The IAM policy shown is attached to the user. What is the likely issue?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

The policy is missing s3:ListBucket permission

The policy allows s3:GetObject and s3:PutObject on the bucket, but SageMaker training jobs also require s3:ListBucket permission to read objects. Without it, access is denied. Option A is wrong because the policy includes sagemaker:CreateTrainingJob. Option C is wrong because the error is about creating a training job, not a model. Option D is wrong because the policy does allow s3:PutObject.
