Full Answer

B.Configure an Object Lifecycle Management policy on the bucket.✓ Correct

Cloud Storage Object Lifecycle Management allows you to set rules on a bucket. GCP will automatically evaluate objects against these rules and perform actions (like SetStorageClass to Nearline, or Delete) when the conditions (like Age > 90 days) are met.
