which of the following is a benefit of using a cloud storage option?
○ it provides a backup of your data, files and photos
○ it protects your computer from viruses
○ you dont need internet access to retrieve the data

Explanation:

• For the option "It provides a backup of your data, files and photos": Cloud storage services allow users to store their data on remote servers, and this acts as a backup since the data is stored off - site and can be retrieved if the local data is lost or damaged.
• For the option "It protects your computer from viruses": Cloud storage does not have a direct function of protecting a computer from viruses. Antivirus software is used for virus protection, not cloud storage.
• For the option "You don't need Internet access to retrieve the data": Cloud storage requires Internet access to retrieve data as the data is stored on remote servers that are accessed via the Internet.

Answer:

A. It provides a backup of your data, files and photos
