A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: A.
Option A is correct.
IaaS cloud offerings provide customers access to the servers and the storage in a way similar to the traditional servers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_serviceBased on the client's requirements for direct servers and storage access similar to traditional servers in the virtual data center, the appropriate service model to include from the Google Cloud offering would be IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).
IaaS is a cloud computing service model that provides the client with access to virtualized computing resources, such as servers, storage, networking, and other fundamental computing resources. The client can provision and manage these resources as they wish, using a web-based interface or an API. With IaaS, the client is responsible for managing and maintaining the operating system, middleware, applications, and data.
Google Cloud's IaaS offerings include Compute Engine, which provides virtual machine instances with customizable virtual hardware, and Cloud Storage, which offers scalable, durable, and highly available object storage. Compute Engine allows the client to create and run virtual machines, while Cloud Storage provides a managed storage solution that can be used to store and retrieve data from anywhere in the world.
In contrast, PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a higher level of abstraction, where the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, and the client focuses on building and deploying applications. SaaS (Software as a Service) offers ready-to-use applications that the client can access over the internet without having to install or manage the application themselves. DaaS (Datacenter as a Service) is not a standard cloud computing service model and is not offered by Google Cloud.
Therefore, in summary, the appropriate service model to include from the Google Cloud offering for the client's requirements is IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).
