I feel like I might confuse this with vertical scaling. But I think horizontal scaling is about increasing capacity by adding instances, which aligns with C.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I believe horizontal scaling definitely involves adding more virtual machines. So, I’d go with C.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about scaling being related to resources. Could it be about reducing users? That seems off though.

I think horizontal scaling is about adding more instances, like option C. It sounds familiar from our cloud lectures.
