To reduce costs and overhead, an organization wants to move from an on-premises email solution to a cloud-based email solution. At this time, no other services will be moving. Which of the following cloud models would best meet the needs of the organization?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, SaaS, as it provides software applications over the internet, which is ideal for email solutions. The other options are not suitable; IaaS (B) provides infrastructure, PaaS (D) offers a platform for development, and MaaS (A) is not a standard cloud model in this context.
