Answer options

• A. platform as a service
• B. computing as a service
• C. infrastructure as a service
• D. software as a service

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, software as a service (SaaS), because in this model, the provider manages the application, while the organization retains control over its data. Options A, B, and C do not fit this description as they pertain to different levels of service management and control.
