Correct answer: Create an AWS CloudFormation stack set and deploy the stack set to all member accounts..
Why this is the answer
AWS CloudFormation StackSets allow you to deploy CloudFormation stacks across multiple AWS accounts and Regions from a single CloudFormation template. This centralized management is ideal for organizations using AWS Organizations, as it enables consistent resource provisioning across all member accounts. Incorrect options: CloudFormation change sets are used to preview proposed changes to an existing stack before applying them, not for deploying resources across multiple accounts. CloudFormation nested stacks are used to organize and reuse CloudFormation components within a single stack or account, not for multi-account deployments. AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) templates are used for defining serverless applications and would still require a mechanism like StackSets to deploy consistently across multiple accounts.
