Explanation

Cloud bursting (Option A) is the ideal solution for handling periodic spikes in demand without purchasing additional hardware. It allows the private cloud to automatically overflow workloads into the public cloud when capacity is exceeded, spinning up new VMs on demand and terminating them when the spike subsides - paying only for what is used. Option B is incorrect because activating the disaster recovery site for routine load spikes misuses it and leaves the company without a true DR fallback during that period. Option C is incorrect because creating a new backup site adds complexity and cost, and decommissioning it repeatedly is operationally inefficient. Option D is incorrect because manually adjusting VM resources is time-consuming, error-prone, and not scalable for an automatic annual event.
