• A. Public Cloud
• B. Private Cloud
• C. Hybrid Cloud
• D. Community Cloud

Answer: (D)

A community cloud is a cloud deployment where the infrastructure is shared by a limited set of organizations that have common concerns, such as security, compliance, or regulatory requirements. This arrangement lets those organizations pool resources and apply governance and security controls that fit their shared needs, while still having the option to manage the environment themselves or have a third party handle it. It fits best because the defining feature is collaboration among several organizations with similar concerns.

Public cloud, in contrast, is open to many unrelated users and offers less control over who accesses the data and how it’s managed. Private cloud is owned and operated by a single organization for its own exclusive use. Hybrid cloud combines private and public clouds, linking them to enable workloads to move between environments.
