Explanation

The key to understand the requirement is: "The objects are written once and accessed frequently Standard Storage Standard Storage is best for data that is frequently accessed ("hot" data) and/or stored for only brief periods of time. Archive Storage is the lowest-cost, highly durable storage service for data archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery. Unlike the "coldest" storage services offered by other Cloud providers, your data is available within milliseconds, not hours or days. Archive Storage is the best choice for data that you plan to access less than once a year. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#standard
