Why each option

According to NIST 800-145, a community cloud is shared by several organizations with common concerns and can be owned, managed, and operated by various parties, existing on or off premises.

Ahybrid cloud

A hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures, not defined by shared ownership across multiple organizations in the way a community cloud is.

Bprivate cloud

A private cloud is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization, not multiple organizations within a community.

Cpublic cloud

A public cloud is provisioned for open use by the general public and typically exists on the premises of the cloud provider, not managed by a community of organizations.

Dcommunity cloudCorrect

The NIST SP 800-145 defines a community cloud as provisioned for exclusive use by a specific community of consumers from organizations that have shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements). It may be owned, managed, and operated by one or more of the organizations in the community, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off premises.
