Selected Answer: A
APIs are the backbone of cloud automation—they enable the rapid provisioning, configuration, and management of resources. If the APIs are insecure, attackers can manipulate or disrupt those automated workflows, impacting the entire orchestration of the cloud environment. While elasticity, resource pooling, and redundancy all rely on automation, compromised APIs most directly threaten the automation layer that ties everything together.
