Answer options

• A. Container as a service
• B. Infrastructure as a service
• C. Platform as a service
• D. Software as a service

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Platform as a service, as it provides the necessary runtime environment, tools, and database management while abstracting away security responsibilities.
