Selected Answer: A

Goal: Delete all customer data in a Cloud Storage bucket immediately after job completion, minimizing the time required to complete the deletion to meet regulatory requirements. A: Yes. A final step using batch delete requests via the Cloud Storage API allows you to programmatically delete all objects in bulk at once. This minimizes deletion time and ensures immediate, controlled, and explicit data removal as soon as the job finishes. B: No. Object Lifecycle Management operates on scheduled age-based rules, not immediately at the end of the job. It cannot guarantee deletion instantly after the job finishes. C: No. The question only ask to delete the customer data processed, not all customer data. Delete bucket data will cause data loss for all customers. This also is done manually, not immedately after the job is completed. D: No. Same as C.
