I bet the exam writer is just trying to see if we're paying attention. The cloud is clearly a metaphor, not an actual operating system!

Option A makes the most sense to me. The cloud diagram is a classic, and it's a great way to visualize the internet.

Haha, 'cloud' as an operating system? Whoever came up with that answer must be living in the clouds!

I thought the cloud was just a fancy way of saying 'the internet'? This question is trickier than it seems.

The cloud metaphor is pretty straightforward, but I wonder if it's a bit too obvious. Shouldn't the question be a bit more technical?
