agree with C, there are few API enabled by default and the Compute engine API is not a part of them. do not be confused, personally, I thought this API should be part of the basic APIs enabled but it it not.

Selected Answer: C

The compute.googleapis.com API must be enabled in your project before you can utilize Compute Engine features and issue commands to create instances.

Why not B? Can you create Compute Engine instance without assigning it it VPC?

When you create a new project on the GCP, a default VPC network is automatically created for you.

Yeah, but who uses the default VPC and CIDR ranges? Technically you could, but its not best practice and RARELY would fit in with a companies existing infrastructure.
