    How to approach this question

    Look for the keyword 'automatically increase or decrease' which implies a rubber-band effect.

    Full Answer

    C.Elasticity✓ Correct
    Elasticity in cloud computing is the ability to automatically and dynamically add or remove resources (scale out or scale in) to match the current workload demand, ensuring you only pay for what you need.
