AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 97

Which option is a benefit of the economies of scale based on the advantages of cloud computing?

Answer options

• A. The ability to trade variable expense for fixed expense
• B. Increased speed and agility
• C. Lower variable costs over fixed costs
• D. Increased operational costs across data centers

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because economies of scale in cloud computing typically lead to lower variable costs, as resources are optimized and shared among many users. Option A is incorrect because it describes a different financial aspect, while B, although a benefit, does not directly relate to the cost structure, and D is contrary to the advantages of cloud computing, which aims to reduce costs.
