While D is a possible answer, it is not in this case because "all projects are linked to different billing accounts". Based on below quoted line from the link you shared, D would have been the answer if all projects were linked to the same billing account: "On the Account management page, linked projects are listed under Projects linked to this billing account."

I was thinking A first. https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/export-data-bigquery "Cloud Billing export to BigQuery enables you to export detailed Google Cloud billing data (such as usage, cost estimates, and pricing data) automatically throughout the day to a BigQuery dataset that you specify." It also says that: "Be aware that your BigQuery dataset only reflects Google Cloud billing data incurred from the date you set up Cloud Billing export, and after. That is, Google Cloud billing data is not added retroactively, so you won't see Cloud Billing data from before you enable export." But I am leaning towards alternative D after reading this page: https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/reports. You don't have to export/import to see data and you can see costs from different projects. All you need is the permission: billing.accounts.getSpendingInformation. It can forecast future costs too. According to the video at the same page, BiqQuery exports to Data Studio is for deeper cost analysis.

As we can read in the 1st paragraph at https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/reports, Reports View from Cloud Billing Console shows info about a single Billing Account. This question says: - "all projects are linked to different billing accounts". - "we want to have a single visual representation". So, in my opinion, the best answer is [A] (BQ+data studio)
