CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 486

Which of the following is a valid use for PaaS?

Answer options

• A. Off-site backups
• B. An application development environment
• C. A virtual server installation and configuration model
• D. A web application for asset management

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a framework for developers to build, test, and deploy applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. Options A, C, and D do not align with the definition of PaaS; A refers to storage, C pertains to server setups, and D describes a specific application rather than a development platform.
