Explanation

Cloud Tier is the correct answer because it is a native PowerProtect DD feature that allows backup data - including Kubernetes workloads - to be seamlessly tiered (moved or copied) from the on-premises DD system to cloud object storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.), extending capacity and enabling long-term cloud retention.

Cloud Boost (A) is wrong because it accelerates direct client-to-cloud backups using DD deduplication, but it does not tier existing data from a DD system to the cloud. PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot Manager (C) is a separate SaaS product focused on managing cloud-native snapshots across public cloud accounts - it has no role in moving DD backup data to cloud storage. Cloud Disaster Recovery (D) is about orchestrating failover of workloads to the cloud, not about relocating backup data tiers.

Memory tip: Think "Cloud Tier = moving data between storage tiers." Just as traditional storage tiering moves data from fast to slow disk, Cloud Tier extends that concept from your DD appliance out to the cloud.
