A proof of concept is being scaled up into a governed rollout, and the deployment decision now needs to weigh factors the PoC never had to consider. Which factor newly needs that weight?

The correct choice is governance requirements - controls, compliance and oversight that a small-scale PoC could reasonably skip but a production rollout cannot. Moving from proof of concept to governed production introduces requirements around compliance, auditability and control that a small, contained PoC typically does not need to satisfy, and the deployment option has to be able to support them. The claim that a governed rollout should use exactly the same deployment reasoning as the PoC is incorrect because a PoC's narrower scope means it does not test everything a governed rollout depends on. The option limited to only the raw performance figures measured during the PoC is incorrect because performance alone was never the full basis for a sound deployment decision. The option favoring whichever deployment requires the fewest configuration steps to stand up is incorrect because minimising setup effort can conflict directly with governance and integration requirements. For the exam, expect governance to weigh more heavily as a workload moves from PoC toward a governed production rollout.
