Why each option

To ensure a new cloud storage service prevents unauthorized access to customer or sensitive data, comprehensive security testing must be performed before deployment.

ABandwidth test

A bandwidth test measures network throughput and capacity, which does not address data isolation or access control concerns.

BLoad balancing

Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple servers to ensure availability and performance, but it does not inherently validate data segregation or security.

CSecurity testCorrect

A security test, such as penetration testing or access control validation, is essential to verify that the new service properly segregates data between tenants and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access.

DStorage test

A storage test would typically validate the functionality, performance, and integrity of the storage service itself, but not specifically the security aspects of cross-tenant data isolation.
