CCSP · Question #209
What is a form of cloud storage where data is stored as objects, arranged in a hierarchal structure, like a file tree?
The correct answer is D. Object storage. Object storage stores data as discrete units called objects, which can be organized in a flat or hierarchical structure, making it flexible for cloud environments.

Why each option
Object storage stores data as discrete units called objects, which can be organized in a flat or hierarchical structure, making it flexible for cloud environments.
Volume storage (block storage) presents storage as raw volumes that operating systems can format and mount, typically used for virtual machine disks, and is not inherently object-based.
Databases are structured data storage systems that organize data into tables, records, and fields, distinct from object storage.
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers that delivers cached web content to users based on geographic location, not a primary storage type that arranges data in a hierarchical object structure.
Object storage is a type of cloud storage where data is managed as objects, often organized with metadata and a flat address space, but can simulate hierarchical structures through naming conventions, allowing for scalable, unstructured data storage.
