Selected Answer: D
A, IaC is not for "specific APIs". B (WORE) an example is JVM or container, no matter where you run your code because there is an abstraction layer like docker, java virtual machine, etc.. where the code run fine. For Terraform you need to write a specific terraform configuration file based on which cloud you will deploy the infra (we can not deploy a tf file write for AWS in Azure changing only the provider, right?. C, IaC is a part of the pipeline but not the entire pipeline. The correct answer is D, "The programmatic configuration of resources" in a human-readable code.

I think that is B because one of the main features of Terraform is being a "Cloud agnostic" solution which best matches with: "Write once, run anywhere".

The purpose of infrastructure as code is to enable developers or operations teams to automatically manage, monitor and provision resources, rather than manually configure discrete hardware devices and operating systems. Infrastructure as code is sometimes referred to as programmable or software-defined infrastructure. D

So you're argument is supporting Answer D B states "run anywhere". Like any cloud provider. That is just not the case. Still, migrating to another cloud provider may be less of an headache with IAC.
