Explanation

Option A is correct because all four statements accurately describe genuine advantages of cloud deployment over owning and managing physical hardware. Cloud platforms allow organizations to provision resources in minutes and scale capacity on demand, eliminating the lengthy procurement cycles required for physical servers. Major cloud providers operate global backbone networks with dynamic BGP routing across multiple carriers, which often results in lower and more consistent latency than a single on-premises data center connected to one ISP. Cloud vendors invest at a scale that most organizations cannot match individually, offering DDoS mitigation, encryption, compliance certifications, and layered security controls that add up to robust end-to-end protection. Finally, cloud billing models such as pay-as-you-go, reserved instances, and spot pricing drastically reduce the upfront capital expenditure that hardware self-deployment requires.

Someone might choose B (False) by assuming that off-premises hosting must mean worse latency or weaker security control, but cloud providers' multi-carrier BGP peering and dedicated security teams directly counter both of those assumptions.

Memory tip: Group the four advantages by what they address -- Speed (rapid deployment), Network (BGP latency), Safety (security protection), and Spend (billing flexibility). If all four hold true, the answer is True.
