A
Correct Answer
Vertical autoscaling resizes an existing instance's resources (CPU/memory); horizontal autoscaling adds or removes instances based on demand
Explanation
Horizontal autoscaling (adding/removing instances) is generally preferred for stateless services due to easier load distribution, while vertical autoscaling resizes a single instance, often requiring a restart.
