Explanation
Coldline storage is a Google Cloud Storage class designed for data that is accessed infrequently - typically less than once a year (e.g., disaster recovery archives). It has a lower storage cost than Standard storage but charges higher retrieval fees. Standard storage is for frequently accessed ('hot') data with no retrieval cost. Both classes use the same APIs, offer the same 99.999999999% durability, and deliver similar transfer speeds - so A, B, and C are incorrect.
