What does scaling in computing mean?

Changing the amount of memory

Changing the number of computing devices

Changing the speed of computing operations

Changing the size of the computing environment

Scaling in computing refers to adjusting the size of the computing environment, including memory, devices, and computing power, to meet the changing needs of a system. Option A refers specifically to memory, which is only one aspect of scaling. Option B may be a factor, but it does not encompass the entirety of scaling. Option C is also incorrect, as scaling is not limited to just changing the speed of computing operations. Therefore, option D is the most accurate choice.
