A. B. C. D.

Answer - A and D.

Every request has a unsubscribe URL that can be used.

Also, from the AWS console, one can just delete the subscription.

Option A is CORRECT because deleting the user's subscription from the SNS topic will ensure that he will not receive any notifications (basically just unsubscribing him).

Option B is incorrect because you cannot delete the endpoint from the SNS subscription.

Option C is incorrect because if you delete the topic, none of the subscribers will get any notifications.

Option D is CORRECT because the notifications have an option to unsubscribe which the user can avail to stop receiving the notifications.

The solution to this problem is to remove the subscription from the SNS topic for your supervisor without affecting other users who still need to receive email notifications from the SNS topic. Therefore, options A, B, and C are not viable since they would remove the subscription or the topic, thereby disrupting other users' ability to receive email notifications.

The correct solution is option D. The unsubscribe information provided in the emails allows your supervisor to stop receiving email notifications without affecting other users' ability to receive the emails. By clicking the unsubscribe link in the email, your supervisor can opt-out of receiving future email notifications from the SNS topic while leaving the topic and other subscriptions intact for other users.

It is important to note that removing a subscription or deleting a topic should be done with caution as it can have unintended consequences for other users who rely on those notifications. In addition, it is recommended to review the SNS topic's subscription policies to ensure that the appropriate users are subscribed to the topic and receiving notifications relevant to their roles.
