I thought scheduled self service was mentioned in our readings, but it doesn't seem essential like the others. I’m leaning towards A as well.

I’m torn between A and D. I know we practiced a question about metered service, but I can't recall if it's essential or just a feature.

I remember discussing NIST's characteristics, and I feel like B) Limited network access doesn't really fit. It seems more about accessibility than limitation.

I think the answer might be A) On demand self service, but I'm not completely sure. We covered this in class, but I can't remember all the details.
