Full Answer

C.You pay for services and resources as you use them.✓ Correct

Operational Expenditure (OpEx) is spending money on services or products as you use them, and being billed currently. In cloud computing, this is the consumption-based model where you pay only for the compute, storage, and network resources you actually consume.

Common mistakes

Confusing OpEx with CapEx. CapEx is upfront investment; OpEx is ongoing, usage-based expense.
