How to approach this question

Identify the standard GCP trio for streaming data: Ingest -> Process -> Analyze.

Full Answer

Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Dataflow, BigQuery
The canonical GCP architecture for streaming analytics is: Pub/Sub (Ingestion) -> Dataflow (Processing/Transformation) -> BigQuery (Data Warehouse/Analytics). All three are fully managed, serverless, and scale automatically.

Common mistakes

Selecting Dataproc (E) instead of Dataflow. Dataproc requires cluster management.
