Explanation

In a serverless model, the cloud provider automatically manages infrastructure provisioning, scaling, patching, and capacity planning. Developers only write and deploy application code - there are no servers to configure or maintain. This dramatically reduces operational overhead, allowing teams to ship faster with fewer DevOps concerns. Choice A is incorrect - serverless typically reduces costs because you pay only for actual execution time. Choice B is wrong - serverless speeds up deployment, not slows it. Choice D is the opposite of reality; serverless frees developers to focus exclusively on application code rather than infrastructure.
