Explanation

Microservices architecture breaks applications into small, independently deployable services that communicate via standard APIs, making them inherently portable - each service can be containerized and moved across AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premises infrastructure without redesigning the whole application (C). Option A is the opposite of reality: microservices reduce cloud-vendor dependencies by decoupling services from platform-specific features. Option B contradicts the core principle of microservices, which favors loose coupling, not tight coupling. Option D is wrong because microservices are language-agnostic - each service can be written in whatever language suits it best, which is actually a key advantage.

Memory tip: Think of microservices as LEGO bricks - each brick (service) is self-contained and fits into any compatible structure (cloud platform), unlike a single molded toy (monolith) that can't be easily moved or reused.
