Explanation

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network segment isolated from both the internal (trusted) network and the external internet, used to host servers that need to be accessible while being separated for security. Placing an intranet web server in a DMZ protects the internal network even if the server is compromised. Cloud services (B) move the server off-premises entirely. Virtualization (C) partitions hardware resources but does not inherently create network isolation. Sandboxing (D) isolates application processes, not network segments.
