Explanation

AWS Elastic Beanstalk (C) is correct because it is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that automatically handles infrastructure provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and monitoring - developers simply upload their code and Beanstalk does the rest.

Why the others are wrong:

• A. CloudFormation - is an Infrastructure-as-Code tool; it does provision infrastructure, but developers must write and manage the templates themselves, meaning they're still responsible for provisioning.
• B. CodeBuild - is a CI/CD build service that compiles code and runs tests; it doesn't deploy or manage application infrastructure.
• D. CodeDeploy - automates deploying code to existing servers/instances, but those servers must already be provisioned by someone.

Memory tip: Think of Elastic Beanstalk as "just throw your app in the basket" - you toss in your code, and AWS figures out the infrastructure. The key phrase on the exam is "without provisioning infrastructure", which is Beanstalk's core value proposition.
