Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A. (C) only
Explanation
In the standard (NIST) definition of cloud computing, 'resource pooling' — a provider's computing resources being pooled to serve multiple tenants — is achieved specifically through virtualization (C), which abstracts physical hardware into shareable virtual resources. Plain 'virtual memory' is an unrelated OS memory-management technique, and a 'service' (e.g. IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) is simply what the cloud offers, not the mechanism enabling pooling. Hence only (C) is related, option (i).More Software Engineering questions
