Explanation

Using a Google Group (or Cloud Identity group) to manage access is the most efficient and scalable IAM best practice. You grant the permission once to the group, and membership changes (new hires, departures, relocations) are managed by updating the group - not by modifying bucket permissions. Deploying the bucket to a Canadian region (A) controls data residency, not access. Cloud Armor (B) enforces access based on IP geolocation, which is less reliable than identity-based access and adds operational complexity. Granting access per individual employee (C) is tedious and error-prone at scale.
