D.
gcloud compute instances start web-server-01 --zone=us-east1-b
How to approach this question
Recall the standard gcloud syntax: gcloud [GROUP] [CONCEPT] [ACTION].
Full Answer
B.gcloud compute instances create web-server-01 --zone=us-east1-b --machine-type=e2-medium✓ Correct
The correct command structure is `gcloud compute instances create [INSTANCE_NAME]`. You use the `--zone` flag to specify the zone and `--machine-type` to specify the size of the VM.
Common mistakes
Using `vms` instead of `instances`, or using `--location` instead of `--zone`.
