An organization wants to digitize and share large volumes of historical text and images. Why is a public cloud a better option than an on-premises solution?

Question

Options

• AIn-house hardware management
• BProvides physical encryption key
• CCost-effective at scale
• DOptimizes capital expenditure

• A
  5% (1)
• C
  91% (20)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

Storing and sharing large volumes of historical text and images requires massive, scalable storage. Public cloud uses a pay-as-you-go model, so costs scale with actual usage - far more economical than purchasing and maintaining on-premises hardware to handle unpredictable or growing volumes. Option A (in-house hardware management) is a characteristic of on-premises, not cloud. Option B (physical encryption key) is a niche hardware security feature, not a cloud advantage for this use case. Option D is incorrect because cloud reduces CapEx by replacing hardware purchases with operational spending.
