In traditional IT budgeting, you may hear the terms capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx). CapEx refers to up-front spending on physical infrastructure like servers, network hardware, and datacenter space. OpEx refers to ongoing spending on services over time. Because you pay for cloud services as you consume them, cloud computing is classified as an operational expense
For the purposes of the question the answer would be A. That said, the question states that a plan already exists to use a Pay-as-you-go subscription, so I would make the case that such a recommendation to use an OpEx model is fundamentally unnecessary to begin with since this decision has clearly already been made.
Answer is Yes. Operating expenditures are ongoing costs of doing business. Consuming cloud services in a pay-as-you-go model could qualify as an operating expenditure.
