Correct Answer - Option 3 : B

The correct answer is Cloud computing.

Cloud storage is a cloud computing model in which data are stored on remote servers accessed from the Internet, or “cloud.” For most PACS manufacturers, cloud storage is primarily utilized as a long-term storage solution only.
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
One such example is Google cloud – It is a suite of public cloud services offered by Google.
There are three main service models of cloud computing – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and peripheral devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server within a distinct geographic area.
An intranet is a private network contained within an enterprise that is used to securely share company information and computing resources among employees.
