Explanation
Cloud Monitoring is the Google-recommended service for metrics-based alerting. It natively integrates with Cloud SQL to collect CPU and memory metrics and supports configuring alerting policies with multiple notification channels, including SMS (text message). Cloud Functions (A) could technically work but is not the recommended approach and adds unnecessary complexity. Error Reporting (B) is designed for application error tracking, not infrastructure metrics. Cloud Logging with a log sink (C) handles log-based alerts but CPU/memory are metrics, not logs-Cloud Monitoring is the correct tool.
