Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Firewall Manager
AWS Firewall Manager (Option B) is the correct answer because it provides centralized management of security group rules across accounts in AWS Organizations, allowing you to enforce a common set of security rules. Option A (IAM) manages user permissions, not security groups. Option C (AWS Config) evaluates resource compliance but does not enforce rules. Option D (AWS Shield Advanced) is a DDoS protection service.
