This solution allows the developer to create and delete branches in AWS CodeCommit by granting the codecommit:CreateBranch and codecommit:DeleteBranch permissions. These are the minimum permissions required for this task, following the principle of least privilege. Option B grants too many permissions, such as codecommit:Put*, which allows the developer to create, update, or delete any resource in CodeCommit. Option C grants too few permissions, such as codecommit:Update*, which does not allow thedeveloper to create or delete branches. Option D grants all permissions, such as codecommit:*, which is not secure or recommended.
