    Fixed-price model

    B.

    Capital Expenditure (CapEx) model

    C.

    Consumption-based model

    D.

    Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model

    Look for the keyword 'pay for the computing resources they use'.

    Full Answer

    C.Consumption-based model✓ Correct
    Consumption-based model
    Cloud service providers operate on a consumption-based model, which means that end users only pay for the resources that they use. Whatever they use is what they pay for.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing CapEx (upfront costs) with OpEx (ongoing consumption costs).
