Explanation

Dataflow is a fully managed, serverless data processing service (based on Apache Beam) that handles both streaming and batch workloads. It automatically scales workers up and down with no cluster provisioning or server management required - exactly matching the requirement. Dataproc (option B) is a managed Hadoop/Spark service but still requires cluster creation and management. Compute Engine (option A) requires VM provisioning. Google Kubernetes Engine (option C) requires creating and managing node clusters. Only Dataflow is truly serverless and handles continuous streaming data without infrastructure management.
