CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 344

A company is reviewing ways to cut the overall cost of its IT budget. A network technician suggests removing various computer programs from the IT budget and only providing these programs on an as-needed basis. Which of the following models would meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Multitenancy
• B. IaaS
• C. SaaS
• D. VPN

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, SaaS, as it allows software to be accessed on a subscription basis, enabling companies to pay only for what they use. A is incorrect because multitenancy refers to a single instance serving multiple customers, not a pay-per-use model. B (IaaS) is focused on infrastructure rather than software services, and D (VPN) is related to secure network connections, not software provision.
