Answer options:
A.
gcloud config set project-b-config
B.
gcloud config configurations activate project-b-config
C.
gcloud switch project-b-config
D.
gcloud config use project-b-config
How to approach this question
Remember the command structure for managing named configurations in gcloud.
Full Answer
B.gcloud config configurations activate project-b-config✓ Correct
gcloud config configurations activate project-b-config
The Cloud SDK allows you to create multiple named configurations (which store properties like default project, account, and zone). To switch between them, you use `gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]`.
Common mistakes
Confusing `gcloud config set project` (which changes the project in the *current* config) with activating a completely different config.
