Options

• ADistributed storage
• BObject-based storage
• CCentralized storage
• DCloud storage

• A

• B
  3% (1)
• C
  95% (35)

Explanation

Centralized storage fits perfectly because it consolidates all data in a single location - one server, system, or hardware device - making it locally accessible but inherently limited by the physical capacity of that single unit.

• A (Distributed storage) is wrong because it spreads data across multiple nodes or locations, the opposite of a single localized system.
• B (Object-based storage) is wrong because it describes a data format (storing data as objects with metadata), not a physical architecture defined by locality.
• D (Cloud storage) is wrong because it stores data on remote, off-premises servers accessed over the internet - not locally available hardware.

Memory tip: Think "centralized = one center." Like a library with one branch - everything is in one place, easy to access locally, but you're limited to what fits in that single building.
