A company has multiple lines of business (LOBs) under a parent. The company requires: a single consolidated AWS invoice for all LOB accounts; invoice detail that breaks out costs per LOB account; the ability to restrict services and features in LOB accounts per governance policy; and each LOB account must have full administrator permissions despite governance restrictions. Which combination of steps should the solutions architect implement to satisfy these requirements? (Choose two.)

Correct answer: Use AWS Organizations to create a single organization in the parent (management) account. Then invite each LOB account to join that organization., Create a Service Control Policy (SCP) that permits only approved services and features, then apply that SCP to the LOB accounts..
Why this is the answer
The correct options address all requirements. Using AWS Organizations with a single organization in the parent account enables consolidated billing and provides detailed cost breakdowns per LOB account, as all accounts under an organization receive a single bill. Creating a Service Control Policy (SCP) and applying it to LOB accounts allows the parent company to restrict services and features, even if LOB accounts have full administrator permissions within their own accounts. SCPs override IAM permissions, enforcing governance policies at the organizational level. Incorrect options: "Use AWS Organizations to create an organization in the parent account for each LOB. Then invite each LOB account to the appropriate organization" is incorrect because a single parent account can only manage one organization. "Implement service quotas..." is incorrect because service quotas limit resource usage, not the availability of services or features. "Enable consolidated billing..." is a step within AWS Organizations, not a standalone solution for linking accounts and applying governance.
