Why each option

IaC stands for Infrastructure as Code, which is a key practice in cloud-native environments for managing and provisioning infrastructure through code instead of manual processes.

AInfrastructure and Code

"Infrastructure and Code" is not the correct expansion of the IaC abbreviation.

BInfrastructure as CodeCorrect

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a crucial practice in cloud-native and DevOps methodologies where infrastructure (networks, virtual machines, load balancers, etc.) is defined and managed using configuration files or code, rather than manual configuration. This allows for versioning, automation, and reproducibility of infrastructure deployments.

CInfrastructure above Code

"Infrastructure above Code" is not the correct expansion of the IaC abbreviation.

DInfrastructure across Code

"Infrastructure across Code" is not the correct expansion of the IaC abbreviation.
