Option A is CORRECT because DescribeStream is used for the producer to check if the stream exists and is active.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/tutorial-stock-data-kplkcl-iam.htmlWhen using Amazon Kinesis streams, producers need certain permissions to be able to produce data to the stream. Two of these permissions are:
PutRecord: This permission is required to put a single data record into a Kinesis stream. This is the basic operation that producers will use to add data to the stream.DescribeStream: This permission is required to describe the details of a Kinesis stream, such as its name, status, number of shards, and so on. This can be useful for producers to know before they begin adding data to the stream.
The other two options, GetStream and GetRecords, are not relevant for producers. These permissions are used by consumers to retrieve data from a Kinesis stream.
To summarize, the correct answers are A. DescribeStream and C. PutRecord.
