Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A is correct because stopping the complete SAP system and the EC2 instance is required to change the instance type to a larger size. Using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI to change the instance type is the easiest and fastest way to do so. Starting the EC2 instance and the complete SAP system will resume the normal operation. The other options are not correct or feasible for scaling up the PAS instance.
