Explanation

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides pooled physical and virtual infrastructure resources-specifically compute (CPU), memory, storage, and networking-that customers can provision on demand. Applications are not an IaaS resource; they are the responsibility of the cloud customer and are deployed on top of the IaaS layer. Applications belong to the PaaS (Platform as a Service) or SaaS (Software as a Service) layers. Note: 'Mamory' in choice C is a typo for 'Memory,' which is a legitimate IaaS resource.
