Explanation

Firebase is the best option for DriveSuper Inc. because it is Google's mobile and web application development platform purpose-built for fast, frictionless app development. Firebase provides built-in authentication (Google, Apple, email/password), a real-time NoSQL database, cloud storage, and hosting - all with mobile SDKs that dramatically reduce development time and cost. Its Authentication service directly addresses the requirement for a smooth onboarding experience. Cloud SQL and Cloud Spanner are relational databases that require significant backend engineering effort to connect to mobile apps. Cloud Storage is object storage, not an application backend. Firebase is the fastest, cheapest path to a polished mobile app experience.
