Explanation

Hosting all subsidiaries' services together on the public cloud reduces infrastructure management overhead (no physical hardware to maintain), keeps costs low through shared billing and economies of scale, and allows consistent security controls and quality of service to be enforced centrally. Hosting everything on-premises (A) dramatically increases infrastructure management burden and cost. Building separate, homogeneous infrastructure at each subsidiary (C or D) multiplies complexity and cost, requiring significant investment in people and engineering at each location - the opposite of reducing overhead.
