Explanation

Higher dependency on the vendor (vendor lock-in) is a well-recognized disadvantage of cloud models. Organizations rely on the cloud provider for uptime, security, pricing, and feature availability, reducing their control and making migration difficult. The other options describe characteristics that cloud actually improves upon compared to on-premises: cloud offers virtually unlimited processing and storage capacity (A is wrong), highly elastic expansion capability (B is wrong), and while latency (C) can occasionally be a concern, it is generally not considered a defining disadvantage compared to vendor dependency.
