Correct arrangement

  • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
  • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
  • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

Explanation

The correct arrangement matches each cloud service model to its defining characteristic: IaaS provides virtualized computing infrastructure (VMs, storage, networking) where users manage the OS and above; SaaS delivers fully managed, ready-to-use software applications over the internet (e.g., Microsoft 365, Salesforce) requiring no infrastructure or platform management; and PaaS provides a managed platform (runtime, middleware, development tools) that allows developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Each model represents a progressively higher level of abstraction and managed responsibility from the cloud provider.
