Based on the shared responsibility model, which of the following solutions passes the responsibility of patching the OS to the customer?

Answer options

• A. PaaS
• B. DBaaS
• C. IaaS
• D. SaaS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, IaaS, because with Infrastructure as a Service, users are responsible for managing the operating system, including patching. In contrast, PaaS, DBaaS, and SaaS provide more managed services where the provider takes care of the underlying infrastructure and OS maintenance.
