AWS CodePipeline
AWS CodePipeline is a fully managed CI/CD service that automates the build, test, and deploy phases. AWS CodeCommit is a managed source control service that hosts Git repositories. Together, they form a robust CI/CD pipeline. AWS Cloud9 is an IDE, not a CI/CD service. AWS CodeArtifact is for artifact management, and Amazon CodeGuru provides code reviews and performance recommendations. Therefore, the correct answers are AWS CodePipeline (B) and AWS CodeCommit (C).
