Full Answer

B.Platform as a Service (PaaS)✓ Correct

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating. It allows developers to avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing software licenses, underlying application infrastructure, and middleware.

Common mistakes
