Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Hybrid cloud
Why this is correct
Hybrid cloud allows the institution to keep sensitive data in a private cloud and use public cloud for bursting.
- ✗
Private cloud
Why it's wrong here
Private cloud satisfies control but lacks elasticity for bursting without additional investment.
- ✗
Community cloud
Why it's wrong here
Community cloud is shared among organizations with common interests, but does not inherently address data residency and bursting.
- ✗
Public cloud
Why it's wrong here
Public cloud does not provide physical control over infrastructure and may not meet data residency requirements.
