Explanation

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is correct because it is a cloud-native architecture that converges networking (SD-WAN) and security services (firewall, CASB, Zero Trust, etc.) into a single vendor-managed, cloud-delivered platform - perfectly suited for an organization migrating to cloud with a lean IT team, as it reduces on-premises hardware and management overhead.

IPS (A) is a point solution for detecting and blocking malicious traffic, typically deployed on-premises; it addresses one security concern but does nothing to simplify cloud migration or reduce IT workload holistically. WAF (B) protects web applications from layer-7 attacks (SQLi, XSS, etc.) and is similarly narrow in scope - useful, but not a complete cloud-migration solution. IAM (D) manages identities and access policies, which is an important cloud component, but it covers only authentication/authorization and doesn't address network architecture or the full security stack a migrating company needs.

Memory tip: Think of SASE as the "one-stop shop" for cloud security - if the scenario involves limited resources + cloud migration + combined networking and security, SASE is the answer. The word "edge" in SASE is your clue that it handles both connectivity and security at the network edge, in the cloud.
