A. B. C. D.Correct Answer - D.
Option A is incorrect: This operation cannot be performed.
Option B is incorrect: Because a member account cannot be migrated to another AWS Organization directly.
Option C is incorrect: Because there is no need to delete the old Organization.
Option D is CORRECT: The account needs to be removed from the old Organization and then accept the invitation from the new Organization.
The option describes the correct method.
Planning the migration process:
If you have only a few accounts to migrate, you can use the Organizations console.
Remove the member account from the old Organization.
Send an invite to the member account from the new Organization.
Accept the invite to the new Organization from the member account.
Reference:
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/organizations-move-accounts/To move a member account from one AWS Organization to another, you can follow the below steps:
AWS Organizations will initiate the account move process, and it may take some time to complete the move. The status of the move will be displayed in the AWS Organizations console.
Option A is not a valid approach to move a member account from one Organization to another. Drag and drop is only available to move accounts within the same Organization.
Option B is not a valid approach because there is no option available to "migrate" an account to a destination AWS Organization.
Option C is not a valid approach because deleting an old AWS Organization is not required to move a member account to a new Organization.
Option D is not a complete solution, as sending an invite from the new Organization and accepting the invite is only one step in the process. The account must first be removed from the old Organization before accepting the new invite.
