A. Mutual authentication

Explanation:

Mutual Authentication or two way authentication involves two parties in a network connection authenticating each other's digital certificate in order to be assured of the other party's identity.

Since this is as described in the scenario above, the cloud-based service and the devices uses mutual authentication.
