Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct answer:
Rapid elasticity is correct. Rapid elasticity allows a cloud environment to automatically add or remove resources to or from a system or application based on its current demands. Whereas a traditional data center model would require standby hardware and substantial effort to add resources in response to load increases, a cloud environment can easily and rapidly expand to meet resource demands, so long as the application is properly implemented for it.
Incorrect answers:
All other answers choices are incorrect.
