Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.
An enterprise hosts a dynamic web application on Compute Engine instances in a single region (us-central1) because the application relies on low-latency transactions with a centralized backend database. Users in Europe and Asia report high Time To First Byte (TTFB) latency on initial HTTP(S) requests and sluggish download speeds for static media assets.
You need to optimize the architecture to minimize end-to-end latency for globally dispersed users without relocating the centralized database.
Which solution should you implement?
A Global External Application Load Balancer operates at Layer 7 using distributed Google Front Ends (GFEs) at edge Points of Presence (PoPs) worldwide. When combined with Premium Tier networking and Cloud CDN, it forms an integrated edge-acceleration architecture for global web workloads.

StudyCertsus-central1. This drastically cuts initial request latency (TTFB) for dynamic requests that must reach the centralized database.us-central1.This approach resolves both dynamic handshake overhead and static download delays at the network edge without requiring complex, multi-region database replication.
