Explanation

A multi-regional Cloud Storage bucket stores data redundantly across multiple geographic regions, providing high availability and low-latency access globally. When fronted by a global Cloud Load Balancer with Cloud CDN, static content is cached at edge locations worldwide, minimizing latency for users regardless of location. This approach requires minimal operational overhead compared to managing VM-based instance groups (options A and B), which require patching, scaling, and replication management. A regional bucket (option C) concentrates data in one region, introducing latency for users in other regions and reducing redundancy.
