A university uses two different cloud solutions for storing student data.

Using two different cloud solutions to store data is an example of platform diversity, which helps reduce dependency on a single cloud provider and enhances resilience against vendor-specific failures or outages.

Load balancing (A) distributes workloads across resources; parallel processing (B) refers to simultaneous processing of tasks; clustering (D) involves grouping servers to act as a single system.

Platform diversity is a recognized architectural strategy to improve availability and fault tolerance, covered in Security Architecture concepts for SY0-701【6:Chapter 10†CompTIA Security+ Study Guide】
