What is the command for creating a storage bucket that has once per month access and is named 'archive_bucket'?

Explanation
Option C is correct because Nearline storage is Google Cloud's class designed for data accessed approximately once per month - it has a 30-day minimum storage duration that aligns with monthly access patterns. Option A uses gsutil rm, which is a remove command, not mb (make bucket), so it would delete objects rather than create a bucket. Option B uses the correct mb command but specifies Coldline, which targets data accessed roughly once per year, making it too infrequent for monthly access. Option D uses the correct mb command but omits the -c flag entirely, defaulting to Standard storage, which is intended for frequently accessed data.
Memory tip: Think of access frequency on a ladder - Nearline = moNthly, Coldline = annual/Cold winter hibernation, Archive = almost never. Match the class to the cadence.
