Explanation:
In a PaaS environment, while the provider ensures the security of the cloud infrastructure, the customer is responsible for securing their applications and data. Option B is the best choice because it emphasizes the importance of securing the application code through secure coding practices, regular code reviews, and vulnerability assessments. This approach addresses potential security risks at the application level, which is within the customer's responsibility in the shared responsibility model. Options A, C, and D either overlook critical aspects of application security or misplace trust solely in the provider's security measures, which may not cover all potential vulnerabilities specific to the customer's applications.
