Selected Answer: D

Option D is the clear winner. BigQuery subscriptions + materialized views are purpose-built for this. Dataflow (A) works, but is more overhead. Cloud Run (B) isn't suitable for continuous processing, and Cloud Storage (C) adds unnecessary steps. Option D is the most efficient and keeps the raw data accessible.
