Explanation

The absence of effective change control is the most common root cause of misconfiguration in cloud environments. Without a formal process to review, approve, document, and validate changes, configurations are applied inconsistently, incorrectly, or without security review - leading to misconfigurations. Using multiple cloud providers (B) increases complexity but is not itself the cause. New cloud computing techniques (C) present a learning curve but are managed through proper processes. Traditional change mechanisms (D) may be inadequate for cloud, but the core issue is the absence of effective control, not the mechanism type itself.
