Explanation

Google Cloud Storage offers multiple storage classes within the same product: Standard (for frequently accessed data), Nearline (accessed roughly once a month), Coldline (accessed roughly once a quarter), and Archive (rarely accessed, lowest cost). Organizations can place data in the appropriate class based on access frequency, optimizing cost automatically. Option A (Filestore) is a managed NFS file storage service, not a tiered object storage solution. Option C (Data Catalog) is a metadata management and data discovery service. Option D (Cloud Spanner) is a globally distributed relational database, not a tiered object store.
