OK

Alarm

D.
The EBS cannot be detached until all the alarms are removed

Explanation:

Amazon CloudWatch alarm watches a single metric over a time period that the user specifies and performs
one or more actions based on the value of the metric relative to a given threshold over a number of time
periods. Alarms invoke actions only for sustained state changes. There are three states of the alarm: OK, Alarm
and Insufficient data. In this case since the EBS is detached and inactive the state will be Insufficient.
