The management plane controls and configures the metastructure and is also part of the metastructure itself. As a reminder, cloud computing is the act of taking physical assets(like networks and processors)and using them to build resource pools. Metastructure is the glue and guts to create, provision, and de-provision the pools. The management plane includes the interfaces for building and managing the cloud itself, but also the interfaces for cloud users to manage their own allocated resources of the cloud.

Correct Answer: B
PaaS utilizes the following data storage types: Structured: Information with a high degree of organisation, such that inclusion in a relational database is seam less and readily searchable by simple, straightforward search engine algorithms or other search operations. Unstructured: Information that does not reside in a traditional row-column database. Unstructured data files often include text and multimedia content. Examples include email messages, word processing documents, videos, photos, audio files, presentations, web pages, and many other kinds of business documents. Although these sorts of files may have an internal structure, they are still considered unstructured because the data they contain does not fit neatly in a database.
