According to the documentation of SSL Proxy Load Balacing on Google, "SSL Proxy Load Balancing is intended for non-HTTP(S) traffic. For HTTP(S) traffic, we recommend that you use HTTP(S) Load Balancing." in my opinion A should be the most suitable choice.

Agree with you but, A is not the most suitable choice, it is the only choice, as the other Load Balancers cannot route HTTP(S) traffic.

For HTTP(s) Load balancer, the client SSL session terminates at the load balancer. A is the correct option.

In opt B, Internal tcp only deals with ip and ports in a vpc i.e 'internally' and does not deal with http/s or ssl/tls In opt C external SSL can serve application over https but not the ssl termination part. In opt D external TCP only deals with web application over HTTP and not the secured one. To top it off, it can't even terminate SSL session. Hence the only viable option is HTTP(S) load balancer.

Selected Answer: A
Answer A is correct. Google recommends using an HTTP(S) load balancer for terminating SSL sessions and load-balancing traffic to an instance group serving a public web application over HTTPS. Answer B is incorrect because it is an internal load balancer, which is not suitable for serving public web applications. Internal load balancers are used for private/internal applications. Answer C is incorrect because SSL proxy load balancers do not terminate the SSL session, instead they pass the SSL traffic directly to the backends without decrypting it. SSL proxy load balancers are used when you need to ensure that SSL is used end-to-end between the client and the backend, and when you want to offload SSL processing from the backends. Answer D is incorrect because TCP proxy load balancers do not terminate SSL sessions. TCP proxy load balancers are used for non-HTTP traffic and can balance traffic at the TCP layer, but they do not have the ability to terminate SSL sessions.

When using External SSL Proxy Load Balancing for your SSL traffic, user SSL (TLS) connections are terminated at the load balancing layer, and then proxied to the closest available backend instances by using either SSL (recommended) or TCP. For the types of backends that are supported, see Backends. https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/ssl/

A is correct. According to this guide for setting up an HTTP (S) load balancer in GCP: The client SSL session terminates at the load balancer. Sessions between the load balancer and the instance can either be HTTPS (recommended) or HTTP.
