AYou must buy servers every year
BYou pay only for the computing resources you consume ✓
CAll AWS services are free
DYou are charged a fixed fee regardless of usage
Correct Answer: B
You pay only for the computing resources you consume
Why this is the right answer
Explanation: Cloud computing converts fixed capital expenditure into variable, pay-as-you-go operating costs based on actual consumption.
