Explanation

The two requirements are: gRPC interface support and minimal infrastructure management overhead. Cloud Run is a fully managed serverless platform that natively supports gRPC (HTTP/2), requires zero cluster or VM management, and scales to zero. Pub/Sub is Google's fully managed asynchronous messaging service, eliminating the need to manage a broker like Kafka. Option A (App Engine) has less flexible gRPC support and higher management overhead than Cloud Run. Options C and D require managing Kafka clusters (significant operational overhead) on top of GKE or Compute Engine respectively - the opposite of minimal management.
