Explanation

Google Cloud Operations Suite (formerly Stackdriver) provides a fully integrated, managed monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting platform that works natively with Google Cloud resources including VMs, containers, and applications. It requires no additional infrastructure to set up and supports common open-source frameworks. Option A (build a custom solution) would be wasteful and slow - exactly the opposite of a startup's need for speed and low overhead. Option B (another open source monitoring tool) would require extra setup, hosting, and maintenance effort. Option D (writing logs to BigQuery) is a manual, code-heavy approach that doesn't provide real-time dashboards or alerting for capacity and performance out of the box.
