Correct ans is B... Focus on two words "Relational" which means option C & D has been eliminated bcz these are non-relational DB.And another word 'Globally' which means Option A also eliminated bcz Cloud Sql does not support global deployments.

Selected Answer: B

The best storage solution for this scenario would be Cloud Spanner. Cloud Spanner is a fully managed, scalable, relational database that is designed to handle global deployments with ease. It can handle large amounts of data and high transactional volumes. It also provides automatic sharding and synchronous replication, ensuring high availability and durability of data. Cloud Spanner supports SQL semantics and provides a familiar relational database experience to developers, which would make it easy to adopt in existing workflows. Cloud SQL, on the other hand, has limits on scalability and does not support global deployments as well as Cloud Spanner. Cloud Firestore and Cloud Datastore are NoSQL databases that are better suited for document-based data storage and not optimized for relational data storage.
