Explanation

Vertex ML Metadata is Google Cloud's purpose-built service for tracking ML metadata: experiments, pipeline runs, input/output artifacts, and their lineage. It enables reproducible experiments by recording exactly what data, parameters, and code produced each model artifact. The other options serve different purposes: BigQuery (A) is an analytical data warehouse; Hive Metastore (B) tracks schema/table metadata for Hadoop-ecosystem data warehouses; Cloud Operations (C) is an infrastructure monitoring and logging suite. None of those are designed to track ML-specific metadata like feature sets, model versions, or training run parameters.
