Intended to run for free or at very low cost, where you pay only for what you need and when you need it. For example, your application can scale to 0 instances when there is no traffic. Experiences sudden and extreme spikes of traffic which require immediate scaling.

Both B and D are okay, however, the need for App engine Flexible environment is not required unless you want to run docker containers, have more control over the instance used and so on, hence in this case B works well. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/the-appengine-environments

The answer is A. B option is not correct. It is not recommended to use App Engine Standard environment for an HTTP(S) API with a very unpredictable workload because App Engine Standard environment has certain limitations and constraints that may not be suitable for an API with an unpredictable workload. For example, App Engine Standard environment has a maximum request timeout of 60 seconds, which may not be sufficient for an API with a very unpredictable workload.
