C.
Attach the reserved IP address to the load balancer's forwarding rule
D.
Attach the reserved IP address directly to the backend Compute Engine instances
E.
Use Cloud DNS to reserve the IP address
How to approach this question
Identify the type of IP needed for a global resource, and understand which component of a load balancer holds the IP address.
Full Answer
Reserve a global static external IP address, Attach the reserved IP address to the load balancer's forwarding rule
To ensure an IP address doesn't change, you must reserve a static external IP address. Because you are using a Global HTTP(S) Load Balancer, you must reserve a *global* static IP (not regional). Once reserved, you configure the load balancer's frontend by attaching this IP address to the Global Forwarding Rule.
Common mistakes
Reserving a regional IP for a global load balancer, or trying to attach the IP to the backend instances instead of the frontend forwarding rule.
