Refer to the exhibit. An administrator runs this command and sees the output. Which statement about the accounts is correct?

⚠ Common exam trap

Watch out — candidates often confuse account status (SUSPENDED) with the method of account creation (invited vs. created), leading them to incorrectly infer that a suspended account must have been invited, when in fact suspension is independent of how the account joined the organization.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The Suspended account cannot be used until it is reactivated.

The command output shows the account status as 'SUSPENDED'. In AWS Organizations, a suspended account cannot be used for any AWS operations until it is reactivated by the management account. This is a hard state enforced by the service, regardless of how the account was added to the organization.
