Suggested Answer: A

Acentralized bastion or transit networkimproves hybrid cloud security by:

Reducing cloud sprawlthrough a unified security control point.

Centralizing firewall, logging, and security monitoringfor betterthreat detection and response.

Enforcing consistent security policiesacross different cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, on-premises data centers).

Minimizing unauthorized lateral movementwithin hybrid cloud environments.

This concept is extensively covered in:

I think the main benefit is about security, so maybe A? It seems like consolidating would help manage that better.
