Explanation

Limit is the standard term used by cloud providers to define a maximum boundary on how much of a given resource (compute, storage, API calls, etc.) a single customer can consume, protecting the shared infrastructure from being monopolized by one tenant. Cap (B) and Throttle (C) are related concepts but carry different meanings: a cap often refers to a hard ceiling on cost or usage in billing contexts, while throttling is a reactive mechanism that slows down requests after a limit is already being exceeded - it's the enforcement action, not the policy itself. Reservation (D) is the opposite concept - it guarantees a minimum amount of resources for a customer, rather than restricting a maximum.

Memory tip: Think of a "limit" like a speed limit sign - it sets the rule in advance before you even get in the car. Throttling is the cop who pulls you over after you've already sped past it.
