The correct answer is C. AWS Config.

AWS Config is a fully managed service that provides you with an inventory of your AWS resources, as well as detailed information about the configuration of those resources. It continuously monitors and records changes to the configuration of your resources, and provides you with a history of those changes.

With AWS Config, you can assess, audit, and evaluate the overall compliance of your AWS resources with your organization's policies and standards. You can also use it to troubleshoot and track the relationships between resources, and to identify any potential issues that might arise due to changes in the configuration of your resources.

AWS Trusted Advisor is a service that provides recommendations to optimize your AWS infrastructure in terms of cost optimization, performance, security, and fault tolerance. It does not provide a snapshot of your current resource configuration.

AWS CodeDeploy is a service that automates software deployments to a variety of compute services, such as Amazon EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and on-premises servers. It is not used for monitoring or reporting on resource configuration.

AWS IAM is a service that enables you to manage access to AWS resources. It is not used for monitoring or reporting on resource configuration.
