Why each option

Cloud computing involves delivering on-demand computing services, including applications, over the internet, rather than running them locally.

AMulticasting

Multicasting is a method of sending network traffic from one source to a select group of recipients simultaneously.

BCloud computingCorrect

Cloud computing refers to the on-demand delivery of IT resources and applications over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing, allowing applications to run as remote web services instead of on local machines. This model enables users to access and use software applications hosted on remote servers through a web browser.

CBroadcasting

Broadcasting is a method of sending network traffic from one source to all devices on a network segment simultaneously.

DDistributed computing

Distributed computing involves a system where components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to achieve a common goal, but it doesn't specifically describe moving a local application to a remote web service.
