It’s D because rehosting doesn’t touch the app, perfect for tight deadlines.

This one definitely feels like D again. Rehosting is basically moving the whole thing as-is to the cloud, so no need to mess with the app before migration. Since the question says no changes can be made upfront, that rules out B and C for sure. A doesn’t fit because you’re not retiring, just migrating. So D is the simplest and fastest approach here.

Makes sense to go with D here. Since the app can’t be changed before moving, rehosting is the classic “lift and shift” way to get it into the cloud quickly without any code tweaks. Other options like refactoring or rearchitecting need changes, which are off the table given the timing. So D fits best to meet the time constraints while still getting the app up and running in the cloud ASAP.

D imo, no time for changes so just rehost it as is.
