A. B. C. D.Answer - A.
The AWS documentation specifies this limitation.
For more information on the VPC limits , please visit the below URL:

The most likely reason why you are unable to create a 6th VPC is due to the default limits set by AWS on the number of VPCs allowed in a single region. The limit is 5 VPCs per region per account by default. Therefore, if you try to create a 6th VPC in the same region, AWS will not allow you to do so.
The correct answer to the question is A. There is a limit of 5 VPCs per region. Submit a request to get the limit increased.
To increase the limit, you need to submit a request to AWS support. You will need to provide a justification for why you need the increased limit, as well as information about your AWS account and the region in which you are trying to create the additional VPCs. The process for increasing VPC limits can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the region and the specific circumstances.
B. The region does not support creating VPCs is not a correct answer. AWS supports VPC creation in all its regions.
C. There is already a VPC with the same name already defined is not a correct answer. AWS requires that VPC names be unique within an account, but this would not prevent you from creating a 6th VPC in the same region.
D. There is already a VPC present with the same CIDR block range is also not a correct answer. AWS requires that VPC CIDR block ranges be unique within an account, but this would not prevent you from creating a 6th VPC in the same region.
