The correct answer would be B. The security concerns for hosting a web application and database in the cloud include the risk of the cloud vendor becoming a new attack vector within the supply chain. By using a cloud vendor, the organization is effectively outsourcing a part of its infrastructure, which means that it is relying on the vendor's security controls and policies. The organization must ensure that the cloud vendor has implemented adequate security measures to protect its systems and data. Other security concerns for cloud-hosted web applications and databases include data privacy, compliance, data backup, and disaster recovery.

Yes the best answer is A because some cloud service provider do not give two factor authentication and this leads data breach

If you chose A or B, you definitely have no clue about how the cloud works. C. Outsourcing code development is a more legitimate concern, as they may not have the same levels of control as with the in-house/on-prem dev cycles.

There's no code development in this scenario, only a web application and a database being hosted.

A is definitely the correct answer. B and C will transfer the risk to the Vendor which should not be the company concern. EOL on D might be a concerned but the risk is minimal.

When i reverse google search, it shows you submitted this question and marked B as the answer. Then you reply here saying A is the answer. Are you misleading us, are you a Comptia agent?
