Explanation

The correct order from most to least customer responsibility is IaaS → PaaS → SaaS. With IaaS, the customer manages the operating system, middleware, runtime, data, and applications - only the physical infrastructure is managed by the provider. With PaaS, the provider also manages the OS and runtime, so the customer is only responsible for data and applications. With SaaS, the provider manages everything, leaving the customer with minimal responsibility (essentially just data access and user management).
