AWS Service Catalog is a service that allows organizations to create and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS. With Service Catalog, administrators can define a portfolio of products (such as EC2 instances or RDS databases), manage product versions and access permissions, and make products available to users through a customizable self-service portal.

To create a portfolio of products in AWS Service Catalog, the service uses a combination of AWS Config and AWS CloudFormation. AWS Config is used to monitor and assess resource configurations and compliance with policies, while AWS CloudFormation is used to create and manage AWS resources as code. AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) can also be used to control access to resources and actions within Service Catalog and other AWS services.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is (B) AWS Config & AWS CloudFormation.
