CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 444

Which of the following is most closely associated with having a leased line to a public cloud provider?

Answer options

• A. VPN
• B. Direct Connect
• C. Internet gateway
• D. Private cloud

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Direct Connect, as it specifically refers to a service that allows a dedicated connection to a cloud provider, enhancing performance and reliability. Options A (VPN) and C (Internet gateway) involve public internet connections, which do not guarantee the same level of performance as a leased line, while option D (Private cloud) pertains to a different cloud architecture altogether.
