You want to use Partner Interconnect to connect your on-premises network with your VPC. You already have an Interconnect partner. What should you first?
A.
Log in to your partner's portal and request the VLAN attachment there.
B.
Ask your Interconnect partner to provision a physical connection to Google.
C.
Create a Partner Interconnect type VLAN attachment in the GCP Console and retrieve the pairing key.
D.
Run gcloud compute interconnect attachments partner update <attachment> / --region <region> --admin-enabled.
Correct Answer is (C):
Provisioning overview
Start by connecting your on-premises network to a supported service provider. Work with the service provider to establish connectivity.
Next, create a VLAN attachment for a Partner Interconnect in your GCP project. This generates a unique pairing key that you'll use to request a connection from your service provider. You'll also need to provide other information such as the connection location and capacity.
After the service provider configures your attachment, activate it to start using it. For more information about the provisioning process, see the Provisioning Overview in the Partner Interconnect how-to guide.

Based on your link, there has a sentence that , "Before you start the Partner Interconnect provisioning process, you must already have connectivity with a supported service provider."
Before create a vlan attachment , you need to verifty you have connectivity with provider.
So B should be the first step.
C
Reasoning:
Partner Interconnect allows you to connect your on-premises network to your Google Cloud VPC via a service provider (partner). Before establishing the connection, you need to create a VLAN attachment in Google Cloud, which involves selecting the Partner Interconnect option and retrieving a pairing key.
the answer is C
B is not the first step because "Service providers have existing physical connections to Google's network that they make available for their customers to use"
which means it's already connected to Google networks physically.
https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/concepts/partner-overview#how-it-works-partner
Option B is correct because the first step in setting up a Partner Interconnect is to ask your Interconnect partner to provision a physical connection to Google. This is because Partner Interconnect requires a physical connection to be established between your on-premises network and the partner's network before any VLAN attachments can be created or configured.
Option A is incorrect because while you may need to request the VLAN attachment through your partner's portal, you first need to establish the physical connection with your partner.
Option C is incorrect because while creating a Partner Interconnect type VLAN attachment in the GCP Console is a necessary step, it can only be done after the physical connection is established between your on-premises network and your partner's network.
Option D is incorrect because the gcloud compute interconnect command is used to manage existing interconnect attachments and cannot be used to provision a new physical connection or VLAN attachment.
Though the customer have an 'Interconnect Partner' no where in the question says that a partner interconnect is established... I have an interconnect partner - does that mean I can call them up and provision an interconnect? No!
You don't ask the Partner to provision as physical connection yet. You must request/create a partner interconnect through the GCP console first.
C: To create and provision a Partner Interconnect connection, follow these steps:
1. Create a VLAN attachment
Create a VLAN attachment for a Partner Interconnect connection. This step generates a pairing ***** key that you share with your service provider. The pairing key is a unique key that lets a service provider identify and connect to your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network and associated Cloud Router. The service provider requires this key to complete the configuration of your VLAN attachment.
To all who answers B here is why its not B:
"Service providers have existing physical connections to Google's network that they make available for their customers to use. "
https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/concepts/partner-overview#how-it-works-partner
And as stated in the question we already HAVE a service provider so we already HAVE a connection provided by the Partner.
Correct answer is "C".
C is correct.
It was clear to be described in here.
https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/how-to/partner/provisioning-overview
Modify my answer to
B.Ask your Interconnect partner to provision a physical connection to Google.
===============================================================
Before you start the Partner Interconnect provisioning process, you must already have connectivity with a supported service provider.
Then ---
1.Create a VLAN attachment
2.Request a connection from your service provider
3.Activate your connection
4.Configure on-premises routers
Ref: https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/how-to/partner/provisioning-overview
Continue to support B.
Before you can use Partner Interconnect, establish connectivity with a supported service provider.
Ref: https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/concepts/service-providers
1. o create and provision a Partner Interconnect connection, follow these steps:
Create a VLAN attachment
Create a VLAN attachment for a Partner Interconnect connection. This step generates a pairing key that you share with your service provider. The pairing key is a unique key that lets a service provider identify and connect to your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network and associated Cloud Router. The service provider requires this key to complete the configuration of your VLAN attachment.
The answer is definitely C.
-It cannot be B because our selected service provide already has an established connectivity between their resources and Google edge point in a Google colocation facility.
-The very first thing in Partner interconnect is to establish connectivity between our on-prem nw and the service provider edge point. This should be done first! Service provider already needs to have a connection to Google edge point in Google's colocation
-Then, we create a VLAN attachment in Cloud console and send the pairing key to our provider in order for them to establish connectivity from their resources to our selected VPC network (a Vlan is always associated with a specific VPC)
Thus the answer is C.
Peace :)
Here is the Google recommended steps for provisioning partner interconnect
1. Create a VLAN
2. Request a connection from service provider
3. Activate connection with a VLAN attachment
4. Configure BGP
Hence the question says "You already have a service provider".\Therefore that eliminates step 1. Now your next step is ......Answer is B
I think D is the right answer. Because YOU ALREADY HAVE AN INTERCONNECT PARTNER and you want to use it. You just need to pre-activate or directly activate the connection.
You must activate it before the attachment can start passing traffic.
A: nonsence
B: Interconnect partner already have a physical connection.
C: I already have Interconnect partner
D: right answer - need to activate the connection.

https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/concepts/partner-overview
"B" is correct. First of all, we have to do provision a connection.
https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/interconnect/concepts/partner-overview?hl=En#provisioning
"To provision a Partner Interconnect connection with a service provider, you start by connecting your on-premises network to a supported service provider. Work with the service provider to establish connectivity.
Next, you create a VLAN attachment for a Partner Interconnect connection in your Google Cloud project, which generates a unique pairing key that you use to request a connection from your service provider. "
