Explanation

Public cloud (A) is correct because it is infrastructure owned and operated by a third-party provider - such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud - and made available to anyone willing to pay usage fees, with no restriction on who can access it.

Hybrid cloud (B) is wrong because it combines private and public cloud environments, not simply open access for any paying customer. Private cloud (C) is wrong because it is dedicated to a single organization, restricting access to that entity alone. Local (D) is not a standard cloud deployment model at all - it's a distractor referencing on-premises infrastructure, which isn't "cloud" in the deployment sense.

Memory tip: Think "public = open to the public" - just like a public library, anyone can walk in and use it as long as they follow the rules (pay the fees).
