Explanation

BigQuery uses a multi-region storage model by default. When you select a multi-region location (e.g., 'US' or 'EU'), BigQuery automatically replicates data across at least two geographically separated data centers, satisfying the policy requirement. Cloud Bigtable (A) supports replication but it is cluster-based and does not automatically span two geographic regions by default. Compute Engine SSD Disks (C) are zonal. Compute Engine Persistent Disks (D) can be regional (two zones in one region) but do not span multiple geographic regions automatically.
