Answer: Access to all AWS resources will be denied.
## Explanation When a newly created IAM user has **no IAM policy attached**, they have **no permissions** to access any AWS resources. AWS follows the principle of **least privilege** by default, meaning: - **No explicit permissions = No access** - Without any attached policies, the user cannot perform any actions - This applies to both the AWS Management Console and AWS CLI - The user will receive "Access Denied" errors when trying to view or interact with AWS resources **Key Points:** - IAM policies must be explicitly attached to grant permissions - By default, new IAM users start with no permissions - This security measure prevents unauthorized access to AWS resources - The user must have appropriate policies (either directly attached or through groups) to access AWS services **Note:** Option E is identical to Option B, so both would be correct, but the correct answer is **B** as it's the first occurrence.
