Explanation

Deploying OpenShift on GCP constitutes an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) shared responsibility model. OpenShift is a Kubernetes platform that you install and manage yourself on top of GCP's compute infrastructure (GCE VMs). Google is responsible only for the underlying physical hardware, networking, and virtualization layer. Your team is responsible for the OS, OpenShift platform, Kubernetes cluster, containers, and applications. This is the defining characteristic of IaaS - the cloud provider manages infrastructure, and the customer manages everything above it. PaaS (Option C) would apply if Google managed the runtime/platform layer, and SaaS (Option A) if the entire application were managed by the provider.
