Explanation

Updating the application to output structured JSON logs to stdout is the simplest method. GKE nodes already run the Cloud Logging agent (Fluent Bit), which automatically forwards stdout logs to Cloud Logging. When logs are structured JSON, Cloud Logging parses them and extracts fields like httpRequest, labels, and trace metadata automatically-no code library changes or additional agents required. Choice A requires changing the logging library and application code, which is more invasive. Choice C uses CSV format, which Cloud Logging does not natively parse for metadata extraction. Choice D is incorrect because Fluent Bit is already installed by default on GKE nodes; manually installing it again is unnecessary and adds complexity.
