I don't think so, changing the support plan might require root user credentials for security reasons.

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.

I'm going with D. Activating access to the Billing console is definitely something an IAM user can do without the root credentials. Gotta love these AWS security questions!
