Explanation

Metered utilization means customers are charged based on exactly how much of a resource they consume - like a utility bill for electricity or water. Pay-as-you-go (B) is the cloud billing model that directly implements this concept: you are charged only for the compute, storage, or bandwidth you actually use, measured and billed in increments. Reserved instances (A) involve prepaying for capacity at a discounted rate regardless of actual usage. Subscription-based (C) models charge a fixed recurring fee regardless of usage levels. Multitenant (D) describes an architectural model where multiple customers share infrastructure, not a billing or utilization model.
