Why each option
Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivers a pre-built development platform including frameworks, middleware, and tools over the network on a pay-as-you-go model, abstracting infrastructure management from developers.
Configuring and managing networking environments describes Network as a Service (NaaS), not PaaS.
Delivering an application over the network on a subscription basis describes Software as a Service (SaaS), where end-users consume a finished application.
Delivering servers, VMs, network, and storage over the network describes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the lowest-level cloud service model.
PaaS provides software development frameworks, runtime environments, middleware, and related components hosted in the cloud and billed on a consumption basis. Developers use PaaS to build, test, and deploy applications without managing the underlying OS or hardware. This matches the defining characteristic of PaaS as a development and deployment platform delivered as a service.
