There are additional security risks associated with using cloud computing over local data storage.

Explanation:

Cloud computing: The term "cloud computing" is described as a process through which an individual tends to access and store various programs and data over the internet rather than his or her computers' "hard drive". However, the term "cloud" here refers to a specific metaphor associated with the internet.

Types:

1. Software-as-a-service or SaaS.

2. Platform-as-a-service or PaaS.

3. Infrastructure-as-a-service or IaaS.

In the question above, the very first option is correct as all other options mentioned over here are incorrect because they aren't related to cloud computing.
