Why each option

Google Cloud Armor is the Google Cloud service that provides DDoS protection and web application firewall capabilities.

AGoogle Cloud ArmorCorrect

Google Cloud Armor defends applications against DDoS attacks by detecting and blocking malicious traffic at the network edge using Google's global infrastructure. It integrates with Cloud Load Balancing to enforce security policies before traffic reaches backend services.

BCloud Build

Cloud Build is a CI/CD pipeline service used to build, test, and deploy software; it provides no DDoS protection functionality.

CCloud VPN

Cloud VPN creates encrypted tunnels between on-premises networks and Google Cloud, addressing secure connectivity rather than DDoS mitigation.

DSecurity Command Center

Security Command Center is a security management and risk platform for discovering vulnerabilities and threats, but it does not actively block DDoS traffic.
