The correct answer for this question is B. Health Check ID.

When you create a Route 53 health check, Amazon CloudWatch creates CloudWatch metrics for the health check, which allows you to monitor and alarm on the health of your resources.

To identify the health check being tracked by the CloudWatch metric, you can use the Health Check ID parameter. This parameter is a unique identifier that Route 53 assigns to the health check when you create it. You can find this ID in the Route 53 console or by using the AWS CLI or API.

When you view the CloudWatch metrics in the CloudWatch console, you can filter the metrics by Health Check ID to see the status of all health checks. The metrics will show the health of the resource associated with each health check, such as an EC2 instance or an ELB load balancer.

Option A, Metric ID, is not a valid parameter for identifying a health check. Metrics in CloudWatch are identified by their namespace and metric name.

Option C, Health ID, and Option D, Status ID, are not valid parameters for identifying a health check in AWS.

Therefore, the correct answer is B, Health Check ID.
