• B. Create a new AWS account. Then configure AWS Organizations and invite all existing accounts to join.
• C. Configure AWS Organizations in each of the existing accounts. Then link all accounts together.

Why ? They already have accounts..

but, yeah, this question is unclear at best.

[hsunmr]

AWS Organizations is a service designed to help you centrally manage and govern your environment as you grow and scale your AWS resources. By creating a new AWS account and configuring AWS Organizations, you can invite all existing departmental accounts to join the organization.

not configure each of existing accounts
