Answer options:

It is always cheaper than public cloud.

It allows keeping sensitive data on-premise while bursting non-sensitive workloads to the public cloud.

It eliminates the need for internet connectivity.

It removes the shared responsibility model.

How to approach this question

Hybrid = Mix of Public and Private. Why mix? Best of both worlds (Control + Scale).

Full Answer

B.It allows keeping sensitive data on-premise while bursting non-sensitive workloads to the public cloud.✓ Correct

Hybrid cloud offers flexibility. Organizations can maintain strict control over sensitive data in their private infrastructure (compliance/security) while utilizing the vast scalability of public cloud for web traffic or computation.

Common mistakes

Thinking Hybrid means using AWS and Azure (that's Multi-cloud). Hybrid is On-prem + Cloud.
