A. B. C. D.Correct Answer - B.
Dedicated Host can be shared with other accounts within an AWS Organisation or an account outside AWS Organisation.
When a Dedicated Host is shared, the owner is responsible for managing the Dedicated Host while consumers can manage the Instance they have launched on this Dedicated Host.
Option A is incorrect as Consumers will not be able to view instance launched by other consumers or owners on this Dedicated Host.
Option C is incorrect as Consumers will not be able to modify the Dedicated host.
It can be done only by the owner.
Option D is incorrect as Consumers will be able to manage instances launched only by them & not by other Consumers.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/dh-sharing.htmlWhen a Dedicated Host is purchased, it is solely dedicated to the account that purchased it, and only that account has the ability to launch instances on it. However, it is possible to share a Dedicated Host with other accounts within the same AWS Organization, which can help to fully utilize the capacity of the host.
When a Dedicated Host is shared with other accounts, the sharing account grants permissions to the receiving accounts to launch instances on the Dedicated Host. These permissions are granted through Resource Access Manager (RAM) in the AWS Management Console.
Based on the given scenario, the manufacturing firm has decided to share their Dedicated Host with other accounts within the AWS Organization. Therefore, the consumers (receiving accounts) will be able to launch instances on the shared Dedicated Host. However, the privileges that consumers will acquire depend on the permissions that are granted to them by the sharing account.
Option A states that consumers will be able to manage instances that they have launched on the shared Dedicated Host and view instances launched by other consumers on this Dedicated Host. This is correct since the sharing account can grant permissions to the consumers to launch instances on the Dedicated Host, and consumers will be able to view other instances launched on the Dedicated Host.
Option B states that consumers will be able to manage instances that they have launched on a shared Dedicated Host. This is also correct since the sharing account can grant permissions to the consumers to launch instances on the Dedicated Host, and consumers will be able to manage only the instances that they have launched.
Option C states that consumers will be able to modify the Dedicated Host and manage instances that they have launched on a shared Dedicated Host. This is incorrect since the sharing account retains the ability to modify the Dedicated Host, and consumers do not have permission to modify it.
Option D states that consumers will be able to manage instances that they have launched along with instances launched by other consumers. This is incorrect since consumers can only manage instances that they have launched, and they do not have permission to manage instances launched by other consumers.
Therefore, the correct answer is A, "Consumers will be able to manage instances which they have launched on a shared Dedicated host & view instance launched by other consumers on this Dedicated Host."
