• ATrue
• BFalse

• A

• B
  21% (5)

Explanation

Option A is correct because the statement accurately reflects the widely accepted definition of cloud computing: it delivers computing resources (such as storage, processing power, and applications) as on-demand services over the Internet, with the ability to scale those resources up or down dynamically based on need. Option B is incorrect because there is no factual error in the statement - every element of the definition (dynamic scalability, virtualization, service-based delivery, and Internet access) aligns with how cloud computing is defined by major standards bodies like NIST. The statement captures the three core characteristics that distinguish cloud computing from traditional on-premises infrastructure.

Memory tip: Think of the acronym DVSI - Dynamic scaling, Virtualized resources, Service-based, Internet-delivered. If a definition of cloud computing includes all four of these elements, it is true.
