If you increase the size of a subnet in a custom VPC network, the IP addresses of virtual machines already on that subnet might be affected. Which options are Correct.
The correct answer is A. False. The statement is False. Expanding a subnet's IP address range in a custom VPC network does NOT affect the IP addresses of virtual machines already running on that subnet. Existing VMs retain their assigned internal IPs.

Explanation
The statement is False. Expanding a subnet's IP address range in a custom VPC network does NOT affect the IP addresses of virtual machines already running on that subnet. Existing VMs retain their assigned internal IPs. Expanding a subnet simply increases the pool of available addresses within that subnet's CIDR block, making more addresses available for new resources. Google Cloud enforces this behavior to ensure that live workloads are not disrupted by network configuration changes. The only time IPs change is during explicit reassignment or recreation of a resource.
