Which factor must be considered when choosing the on-premise solution over the cloud-based one?

This statement is incorrect; in an on-premise model, the customer is responsible for installation and maintenance, not a provider.

This statement describes a characteristic of certain cloud models (e.g., IaaS) but is not the factor to consider when making the specific choice for an on-premise solution over cloud.

This statement is incorrect; for an on-premise solution, the customer is typically responsible for *both* installation and maintenance, not just maintenance after a provider installs.

With an on-premise solution, the customer assumes full responsibility for all aspects of the infrastructure, including the initial procurement, physical installation, configuration, ongoing maintenance, power, cooling, and eventual decommissioning of all hardware and software components. This complete ownership and operational burden is a primary differentiating factor compared to cloud models.
