Why each option

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources including servers, storage, and networking on a pay-as-you-go basis. It allows organizations to customize and manage their own server configurations without purchasing physical hardware.

AHybrid cloud

Hybrid cloud is a deployment model combining on-premises and cloud resources, not a service model for leasing individual server resources.

BSoftware as a service

Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers complete software applications over the internet and does not provide access to customizable server infrastructure.

CInfrastructure as a serviceCorrect

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivers virtualized infrastructure resources - including compute, storage, and networking - on a rental or pay-as-you-go model. Organizations can configure and manage their own servers without owning the underlying hardware, which directly matches the requirement to lease customized server resources instead of making a one-time hardware purchase.

DPlatform as a service

Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a managed development and runtime environment, abstracting away server management rather than exposing customizable server resources.
