Explanation

A is correct because gsutil gives you access to write data to Cloud Storage. B is not correct because gcloud is the command-line interface for common platform tasks and does not include accessing Cloud Storage. C is not correct because the data size would require a resumable upload, and that does not meet the requirement of maximizing the data transfer speed. D is not correct because Storage Transfer Service is for importing online data, not on-premises. Your data source can be an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket, an HTTP/HTTPS location, or a Cloud Storage bucket. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/ https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/how-tos/upload https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/uploading-objects https://cloud.google.com/storage-transfer/docs/overview
