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 runs mission-critical stateful workloads on Compute Engine virtual machines in the us-central1 region using zonal Persistent Disks. The architecture team needs to establish a backup and disaster recovery strategy that satisfies several operational and compliance requirements:

Compute Engine Persistent Disk snapshots are incremental point-in-time backups that capture block-level changes from persistent storage. Snapshots can be configured as either standard snapshots for short-term operational recovery or archive snapshots for low-cost, long-term data retention. They can be placed into regional or multi-regional Cloud Storage locations.
us) ensures that snapshots are automatically replicated across multiple regions, allowing immediate disk restoration in us-east1 during a regional outage in us-central1.This architecture leverages fully managed native Compute Engine capabilities (snapshot schedules, multi-region snapshot storage, and archive snapshot tiers) to satisfy RPO, cross-region disaster recovery, and long-term cost optimization with minimal operational overhead.
