Explanation

Cloud Tasks is purpose-built for managing, dispatching, and asynchronously executing discrete background tasks. It supports scheduling, rate limiting, retries, and deduplication - exactly what's needed when user input triggers specific background jobs. Cloud Pub/Sub (C) is a messaging system better suited for fan-out event streaming, not targeted task dispatch. Cloud Bigtable (B) is a NoSQL database, not a task queue. Cloud Composer (D) is a managed Apache Airflow service for orchestrating complex workflows, not for lightweight per-user-input task execution.
