The correct answer is A. The application is hosted on premises and VPN connectivity is required.

Explanation

When an application is hosted on-premises (within a corporate network), it sits behind firewalls and is not directly accessible from the public internet or cellular networks like 4G. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is required to create a secure tunnel from the external device (the 4G phone) into the corporate network to reach the on-premises application. This is a common testing scenario where developers forget that on-premises apps are not publicly reachable. Options B and C are incorrect because testing does not require moving an app to production or the cloud. Option D is incorrect because HTTPS is a standard protocol supported over 4G.
