Explanation

Hybrid Cloud is correct because the scenario explicitly requires two things simultaneously: running workloads in the public cloud (the web UI, closer to end users) and keeping sensitive data on-premises - the textbook definition of a hybrid cloud model, which bridges private and public environments.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (Cloud service on-premises) - this describes private cloud or on-prem hosted services, not a model that leverages the public cloud at all.
• C (Traditional IT on-premises only) - eliminates the public cloud entirely, contradicting the requirement to move the UI closer to end users via the cloud.
• D (Public Cloud only) - eliminates on-premises entirely, contradicting the requirement to keep critical data on-prem.

Memory tip: Think "hybrid = two worlds." Whenever an exam scenario mentions both public cloud and on-premises requirements in the same sentence, the answer is almost always Hybrid Cloud - it's the only model designed to span both environments simultaneously.
