Q10 /20 Which of the following is the correct explanation of resource authorization in Web...

Resource authorization in Web services refers to the process of granting or denying access to specific resources based on user permissions and conditions. Option B correctly describes this as controlled data sharing with third parties when conditions are met. Option A describes auto-scaling (a resource management concern, not authorization). Option C describes transparency/policy disclosure (a compliance issue, not authorization itself). Option D describes user confirmation prompts (a UI pattern, not authorization).

Step-by-step Derivation:
Authorization is a security mechanism that determines what authenticated users are allowed to do. Among the options: A is about dynamic resource allocation (scaling), B is about controlled access/sharing based on conditions (authorization), C is about policy disclosure (transparency), and D is about user confirmation dialogs (UX). The definition of authorization specifically matches B—granting access to resources conditionally, including sharing user data with authorized third parties when conditions are met.
