Explanation
The NIST definition of cloud computing identifies five essential characteristics: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling (shared resources), rapid elasticity, and measured service. 'Minimal management effort' aligns with on-demand self-service and resource pooling, and 'shared resources' directly matches resource pooling. Option B is incorrect because cloud computing is designed to lower costs, not increase them, and resources are shared, not unique. Option C is wrong because cloud resources can be rapidly both provisioned AND released. Option D contradicts broad network access and on-demand availability.
