Answer: D

Explanation:

To determine your instance’s public IP address from within the instance, you can use instance metadata. 

Use the following command to access the public IP address:

For Linux use, $ curlhttp://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4, and for Windows use, $ wget http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4.
