A is not correct because the admin activity logs show destroy, create, modify, etc. events for a VM instance. (https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/audit/#admin-activity) B is not correct because the data access logs show read activities. (https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/audit/#data-access) C is correct because a service running in systemd that outputs to stdout will have logs in syslog and will be scraped by the logging agent.
