Selected Answer: C

Set up an Alerting Policy: Go to the Cloud Monitoring Console. Navigate to Alerting under the "Monitoring" section. Create a new alerting policy. Choose a metric that reflects the latency you want to monitor (e.g., http/request_latencies). Set the threshold for high latency (e.g., a latency value that signifies an issue). Define the duration of the condition (e.g., 5 minutes). This will ensure the alert triggers only if the latency remains high for a sustained period. Set up Notification Channels: Under the alerting policy, configure a notification channel to send alerts to your support team (e.g., via email, SMS, or through a Google Cloud Pub/Sub topic if you want more advanced options). You can configure multiple notification channels to ensure the support team is notified promptly. so if we have to send notifications (email, msg etc ) to entire team, then I think C is right option
