A. B. C. D.Answer - C.
The AWS Documentation currently mentions the following.
Data Transfer via AWS Direct Connect will be billed in the same month in which the usage occurred.
If you have a hosted private virtual interface, you will only be charged for the data transferred out of that private virtual interface at the applicable Data Transfer rates.
The account that owns the port will be charged the port-hour charges.
All other options are invalid since it is clearly mentioned what you get charged for in the AWS Documentation.

https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/faqs/When using a hosted private virtual interface from a parent AWS account to an AWS Direct Connect endpoint, the following charges apply:
A. The port hour charges: AWS Direct Connect charges an hourly rate for the port hours during which your hosted virtual interface is provisioned on the AWS Direct Connect endpoint.
B. The data transfer in: AWS charges for the amount of data transferred in to the AWS Direct Connect endpoint. This includes data transferred from the parent AWS account to the endpoint through the hosted virtual interface.
C. The data transfer out via the private virtual interface to AWS Direct Connect Endpoint: AWS charges for the amount of data transferred out from the parent AWS account via the hosted virtual interface to the AWS Direct Connect endpoint. This includes data transferred from the parent AWS account to the endpoint through the hosted virtual interface.
D. The amount of hours used by the interface: AWS Direct Connect charges for the total amount of time that the hosted virtual interface is connected to the AWS Direct Connect endpoint.
Therefore, if your company uses a hosted private virtual interface from its parent AWS account to the AWS Direct Connect endpoint, you would need to mention to IT management that the charges they will acquire include A, B, and C, which are the port hour charges, data transfer in, and data transfer out via the private virtual interface to the AWS Direct Connect endpoint.
