A. B. C. D.Answer - B.
You will only get charged for the data transfer out.
Option A is incorrect because data transfer is free for any AWS Direct Connect connection.
Option C is incorrect because this charge will be borne by the parent AWS account.
https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/faqs/Option D is incorrect because there is no such charge.

https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/pricing/As an AWS customer, you have the option to use AWS Direct Connect to establish a dedicated network connection between your on-premises data center and AWS. This can provide a more reliable, consistent, and lower-latency network experience compared to using public internet connections.
In this scenario, your account is part of a parent AWS account that already has a Direct Connect connection established. You plan to use this connection as a hosted virtual interface (VIF), which means you will be connecting your VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) to the parent account's Direct Connect connection.
When you use a hosted VIF, you only pay for the data transfer that flows through that VIF. This means that answer choices A and B (all data transfer in and out) are not correct.
You also do not pay for the initial connection charges, which would have been paid by the parent account that owns the Direct Connect connection. Therefore, answer choice D is also not correct.
The only charge you would incur when using a hosted VIF is for the port hours, which refers to the time during which your VIF is connected to the Direct Connect port. This charge is typically based on an hourly rate, and it applies whether or not any data is actually flowing through the VIF.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: the port hours.
