C.Ensure the automatic restart policy is set to 'On' (which is the default).✓ Correct
Ensure the automatic restart policy is set to 'On' (which is the default).
By default, Compute Engine instances are configured to automatically restart if they are terminated due to a system event, such as a hardware failure or maintenance event. This is controlled by the 'Automatic restart' availability policy on the instance.
