• Chose C1

  C. Cloud service provider In all three cloud deployment models—Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS)—the cloud service provider is responsible for maintaining and patching the underlying infrastructure, which includes the hypervisor layer. The hypervisor is essential for virtualization, allowing multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine. Its maintenance is critical to the security and performance of the cloud environment, so the cloud service provider manages and patches the hypervisor to ensure its security and reliability.
