Explanation

Single-tenancy cloud gives the company a dedicated, isolated cloud environment not shared with any other tenant. This means no other organization can access the same underlying infrastructure, making it the strongest option for protecting highly sensitive intellectual property like proprietary trading algorithms. Multi-tenant environments carry residual risk of data leakage between tenants. Managed security service providers (B) focus on monitoring/operations, not infrastructure isolation. Virtual desktop infrastructure (C) protects endpoint access but not the underlying data or code. A Cloud Security Broker (D) mediates cloud service access policies but does not isolate the infrastructure itself.
