regional managed instance group can grow instances in each region separately based on traffic.

B.

Use a global load balancer with a set of virtual machines that forward the requests to a closer group of

virtual machines managed by your operations team.

C.

Use regional managed instance groups and a global load balancer to increase reliability by providing

automatic failover between zones in different regions.

D.

Use a global load balancer with a set of virtual machines that forward the requests to a closer group of
