Explanation

Cloud Storage is the ideal GCP service for backup and disaster recovery because it is highly durable, cost-effective, and designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data like backups. The gsutil command-line tool enables scripted, scheduled backup tasks (e.g., via cron). Cloud Interconnect - rather than Cloud VPN - is specified because the question states that 'stable networking connectivity' is being implemented; Cloud Interconnect provides dedicated, high-bandwidth, low-latency links suitable for ongoing production workloads. BigQuery (A) is an analytics data warehouse, not a backup target. Compute Engine Persistent Disks (C) are block storage tied to VMs and not suited for backup archiving. Cloud Datastore (D) is a NoSQL document database, not a backup/DR solution.
