Explanation

Portability is the cloud cross-cutting concern that describes how easily workloads, applications, or data can be migrated from one cloud provider to another (or to on-premises). High portability means minimal vendor lock-in. Interoperability (D) refers to different systems or components working together, not moving wholesale between providers. Reversibility (A) is the ability to retrieve your data and cease a cloud service cleanly. Availability (B) refers to uptime and fault tolerance.
