Closing an AWS account seems like something only the root user can do, but I can't recall if viewing the Billing console is allowed for IAM users.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know IAM users have limited permissions, but I'm not sure which specific tasks they can and can't perform. I'll have to make an educated guess here.

Okay, I've got this. The root user can do anything, but an IAM user can't close the account or change the support plan. That leaves C and D as the options, and D is the right answer.

D all the way! Viewing the Billing console is a piece of cake for an IAM user. Just don't try to close the account or you might end up in the AWS doghouse.
