Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Resource pooling

Resource pooling refers to the provider's computing resources being pooled to serve multiple customers, with physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned. It does not directly describe multi-device access.

B

Distractor review

Scalability

Scalability is the ability to handle growing demands by adding resources. The scenario does not mention changing demand or resource capacity.

C

Best answer

Broad network access

Broad network access allows users to connect from various devices (laptops, tablets, phones) over the network, which matches the marketing manager's ability to use multiple devices.

D

Distractor review

Measured service

Measured service means resource usage is metered and billed accordingly. The scenario does not discuss billing or metering.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
