Explanation

Multitenancy is a foundational characteristic of cloud computing in which multiple customers (tenants) share the same underlying physical infrastructure and sometimes the same application instances, with logical separation enforced by the provider. If legal requirements mandate that data cannot coexist on systems with other applications or organizations' data, multitenancy is the direct conflict - because by design, cloud resources are shared. Broad network access, portability, and elasticity do not describe shared physical hosting of multiple tenants.
