Selected Answer: B

The best option is B. Dataproc workflow templates. Option B is best because workflow templates are built into Dataproc for simple Spark job scheduling. Option A (Composer) is incorrect because Composer is too complex for this simple task. Option C (Cloud Run trigger) is incorrect because Cloud Run is not for Dataproc job management. Option D (Cloud Scheduler + Cloud Run) is incorrect because it's more complex than workflow templates. Therefore, Option B, workflow templates, is the easiest and most direct solution.

Dataproc Workflow Templates are excellent for defining and scheduling Spark jobs, but they do not natively support emailing reports.
