Explanation:

- The blank is talking about cloud computing becoming highly demanded because of its benefits.

- Option 1: authentication – This means verifying identity. Not the main point here.

- Option 2: utility – This fits well. People talk about “utility services” (like electricity, water, and, yes, cloud computing) because you use them as needed and pay for what you use.

- Option 3: performance – This is an advantage, but not what cloud computing is “becoming.”

- Option 4: subscription – Cloud services can be sold as subscriptions, but the passage focuses on the type of service, not the payment plan.

- Bottom line: “Utility” nails the meaning that cloud computing is a basic, widely accessible, on-demand service, just like other utilities.
