Explanation
Cloud Spanner is Google's fully managed, globally distributed, horizontally scalable relational database. Its defining capability for global organizations is synchronous, real-time replication of data across multiple regions, which ensures strong consistency and low-latency reads/writes no matter where users are located. This eliminates the complexity of managing cross-region database replication manually. Option A is incorrect-Cloud Spanner is a hot, transactional database, not optimized for cold/archival storage (that would be Cloud Storage with Nearline or Coldline classes). Option C is incorrect-Cloud Spanner is a structured relational database, not designed for unstructured data ingestion. Option D describes a BI/analytics tool like Looker, not a relational database.
