Explanation

In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the cloud provider manages the physical hardware, storage, and networking, but the customer is responsible for managing the operating system, middleware, and applications - including applying OS patches. In SaaS (A), the provider manages everything including the OS. Public Cloud (B) is a deployment model, not a service model. Cloud-based storage (C) is a specific service where the OS is fully managed by the provider. Only IaaS grants customers access to the OS layer.
