Explanation

ISO 27017 is the international standard that provides guidelines specifically for information security controls applicable to the provision and use of cloud services-it extends ISO 27002 with cloud-specific guidance. ISO 27001 defines requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). ISO 27002 provides general information security control guidelines not specific to cloud. ISO 27018 focuses on protecting personally identifiable information (PII) in public clouds. Since the question asks about cloud service security controls specifically, ISO 27017 is the correct answer.
