Explanation

Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a managed environment where developers can deploy and run custom-built applications without managing the underlying infrastructure (servers, OS, networking, storage). The cloud provider handles infrastructure management, allowing the company to focus solely on their application code. This directly meets the requirement of hosting their custom-developed CRM without infrastructure management. SaaS (A) delivers complete, ready-to-use software applications managed entirely by the vendor-the company would have to abandon their custom CRM and adopt a third-party one. XaaS (C) is a broad umbrella term meaning 'Anything as a Service' and is not a specific deployable model. IaaS (D) provides virtualized infrastructure but still requires the company to manage the operating system, middleware, and runtime, meaning significant infrastructure responsibility remains.
