According to the Shared Responsibility Model (Page 280 CCAK Study Guide) application, CSP is full responsable. So I think that the right answer is A.

Selected Answer: D
When using a SaaS solution, application security is a shared responsibility between the cloud service provider (CSP) and the cloud service consumer. The CSP is responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure and the application itself. This includes tasks such as patching, vulnerability management, and ensuring secure development practices. The cloud service consumer is responsible for aspects of application security that are within their control, such as proper configuration, user access management, and data protection measures like encryption. The consumer should also ensure that they are following best practices for secure usage of the SaaS solution.

SaaS providers handle much of the security for a cloud application. The SaaS provider is responsible for securing the platform, network, applications, operating system, and physical infrastructure. However, providers are not responsible for securing customer data or user access to it.
