AWS Config is a service that enables the user to assess, audit, and evaluate AWS resources and the relationship between them over time. It provides detailed information on the configuration of resources in an AWS account to ensure they are configured and deployed as intended. The AWS Config Dashboard is a web-based console that displays the compliance status of resources based on the AWS Config rules.

Option A: The compliance status of resources for all accounts deployed in all regions. This statement is incorrect because the AWS Config dashboard displays only the resources for the account in which the dashboard is created. It does not provide compliance status for all accounts deployed in all regions.

Option B: The compliance status of resources specific to an account and a specific region. This statement is correct. The AWS Config dashboard displays the compliance status of resources specific to an account and a specific region. This information helps in monitoring the resources' configurations and ensuring compliance with industry standards and internal policies.

Option C: The compliance status of rules deployed by all accounts in a region. This statement is incorrect because the AWS Config dashboard does not display the compliance status of rules deployed by all accounts in a region. It only displays the compliance status of resources within the specified account and region.

Option D: The compliance status of rules deployed by a specific account in all regions. This statement is incorrect because the AWS Config dashboard displays the compliance status of resources specific to the account and region where the dashboard is created. It does not display the compliance status of resources in other regions where the account has resources.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: The compliance status of resources specific to an account and a specific region.
