Explanation
Cloud Spanner is Google's globally distributed, horizontally scalable relational database that guarantees strong consistency (ACID transactions) across regions worldwide. It is purpose-built for financial and mission-critical workloads that require every transaction to be handled consistently, even at global scale. It also supports virtually unlimited horizontal scaling, addressing the anticipated data growth requirement. Option A (Cloud SQL) is a managed relational database but limited in horizontal scale and global distribution. Option B (Cloud Storage) is object storage, not a transactional database. Option C (Firestore) is a NoSQL document database that trades some consistency guarantees for scalability, making it less suited for strict financial transaction consistency.
