• B

• C

• D

Explanation

Establishing a cross-functional partnership between finance, technology, and business teams is the foundational principle of FinOps (Cloud Financial Operations), the industry-standard approach to cloud cost management. Finance understands budgets and chargebacks, technology teams understand what services are used and why, and business teams provide context on ROI and priorities. Together, they create shared accountability and visibility into cloud spending. Option B (single monitor) doesn't scale for large organizations and creates a bottleneck. Option C conflates error budgets-an SRE reliability concept-with cost management. Option D focuses on on-premises infrastructure, which is irrelevant to managing cloud costs.
