Explanation

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) is the KEY quantitative measure for auditors because it is the formal contractual document that defines measurable, binding performance thresholds between the cloud provider and the customer. SLAs specify uptime percentages, response times, throughput targets, and remedies for non-compliance - providing auditors with objective, enforceable benchmarks against which to measure actual performance. SLOs (A) are internal targets not contractually binding, and RPO/RTO (B, D) are recovery metrics specific to disaster recovery scenarios, not ongoing performance auditing.
