Explanation

Serverless framework is correct because it allows developers to deploy and run applications in the cloud without managing or provisioning servers - the cloud provider handles infrastructure automatically, and you only pay for actual execution time, making it inherently low-cost and cloud-based.

Type 1 hypervisor (B) runs directly on physical hardware to host virtual machines on-premises (e.g., VMware ESXi, Hyper-V) - it's not a cloud solution and requires hardware investment. SD-WAN (C) is a software-defined wide area network technology for optimizing network connectivity between locations, not for hosting applications. SDN (D) is Software-Defined Networking, which abstracts network control from hardware - again, a networking concept, not an application-hosting platform.

Memory tip: Think "serverless = no server bills" - the "less" in serverless means less overhead, less cost, and less infrastructure to manage, which maps directly to "low-cost cloud hosting."
