Explanation
Private cloud (B) is correct because it is infrastructure dedicated exclusively to a single organization - owned, managed, and operated solely by that entity (or a third party on its behalf), with no shared access from outside parties.
Public cloud (A) is wrong because resources are owned and operated by a third-party provider (e.g., AWS, Azure) and shared across many customers. Hybrid cloud (C) is wrong because it combines both public and private environments, so it isn't exclusively owned/operated by one entity. Community cloud (D) is wrong because it is shared among several organizations with common interests (e.g., government agencies), not a single exclusive owner.
Memory tip: Think "private = personal" - just like a private driveway belongs to one household, a private cloud belongs to one organization.
