Explanation

Regulatory requirements is the cloud cross-cutting aspect that encompasses mandates imposed on a system or application from external sources: laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA), government policies, and industry standards (e.g., PCI DSS). 'Cross-cutting aspects' in cloud architecture refer to concerns that span multiple service and deployment models. Auditability (B) refers to the ability to track and log activities. Service-level agreements (C) are contractual performance commitments. Governance (D) is the broader framework of policies and oversight - it shapes how regulatory requirements are managed but is not itself the legal mandate.
