Explanation

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) works by using declarative or imperative representation formats (like YAML, JSON, HCL, or CloudFormation templates) to describe infrastructure resources and automate their deployment - making A correct.

• B is wrong because orchestrated workflows describe CI/CD pipelines or task orchestration tools (like Airflow), not IaC itself. IaC enables teams to deploy infrastructure, but it does so through code/templates, not workflow orchestration.
• C is wrong because images (like VM snapshots or container images) are a related concept in immutable infrastructure, but IaC specifically refers to descriptive code files, not images.
• D is wrong because monitoring toolsets (like Prometheus or Datadog) are observability tools - a separate concern from provisioning and managing infrastructure.

Memory tip: Think of IaC as "a blueprint in code." Just as an architect uses a blueprint to describe and build a structure, IaC uses representation formats (code/templates) to describe and deploy infrastructure - the key verb pair is describe and deploy, which maps directly to option A.
