Question
A pharmaceutical company is considering moving its technology operations from on-premises to externally-hosted to reduce costs while improving security and resiliency. These operations contain data that includes the prescription records, medical doctors' notes about treatment options, and the success rates of prescribed drugs. The company wants to maintain control over its operations because many custom applications are in use. Which of the following options represent the MOST secure technical deployment options? (Select THREE).

Explanation
The pharmaceutical company handles highly sensitive data (prescription records, doctors' notes, drug efficacy data) and needs to retain control over custom applications. Single tenancy (A) means the organization's data and workloads reside on dedicated infrastructure not shared with other customers, eliminating cross-tenant data leakage risk. Private cloud (E) provides cloud-like scalability while keeping resources entirely within a controlled, dedicated environment - suitable for regulated healthcare data. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) (H) grants the highest level of control in the cloud delivery models: the organization manages the OS, middleware, and applications, which is essential when custom applications are in use. Multi-tenancy (B) and Public cloud (D) introduce shared-resource risks. SaaS (G) and PaaS (I) remove too much control over the application stack. Hybrid (F) and Community (C) are acceptable in some contexts but are not the most secure compared to the selected three.
