Answer options:
A.
The selected Google Cloud region
B.
The operating system (OS) image
C.
Ingress network traffic
D.
Egress network traffic
How to approach this question
Recall the general rule for cloud networking costs: data coming in is usually free, data going out costs money.
Full Answer
C.Ingress network traffic✓ Correct
Ingress network traffic
In Google Cloud (and most major cloud providers), ingress network traffic (data entering the GCP network) is free. Therefore, it does not factor into the cost estimate. Region, OS licensing, and egress traffic all incur costs.
Common mistakes
Assuming all network traffic (both ingress and egress) is billed equally.
