   A startup's infrastructure team manually provisions virtual machines, installs the web server, and applies security patches every time a new environment is needed. This process takes hours and often results in configuration drift between development and production.

Which approach best meets this requirement?

   • AUse a configuration management tool to apply settings to existing VMs after they are manually created.
   • BCreate a golden image with all software pre-installed and use it to deploy all new VMs.
   • CWrite a shell script that provisions a VM and installs the web server, then run it manually in each environment.
   • DUse an Infrastructure as Code tool to define the VM, packages, and application state in declarative configuration files stored in a Git repository.
