Answer options:
A.
Standard VMs with Committed Use Discounts

Spot VMs (Preemptible VMs)
C.
Custom Machine Types
D.
Sole-tenant nodes
How to approach this question
Identify the cheapest compute option for fault-tolerant workloads.
Full Answer
B.Spot VMs (Preemptible VMs)✓ Correct
Spot VMs (Preemptible VMs)
Spot VMs (formerly Preemptible VMs) are highly affordable compute instances suitable for batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads. Compute Engine might stop these instances if it needs to reclaim the compute capacity.
Common mistakes
Thinking Spot VMs are a different service than Compute Engine; they are just a pricing model for VMs.
