First discard: C / D are totally not it. Since they will do so much work and it says "do not want to manage gcoud CLI manually" Then B is not a good cost option, besides at the end you are managing your gcloud cli manually. So A is the only left correct answer. It even saves your $HOME files.

If you're using Cloud Shell, the gcloud CLI is available automatically and you don't need to install it. commadn gcloud components auto-update doesn't exist but the command gcloud components update ensure that you are using updated version of your components.

With B, you can keep your terminal working from any workstation. Why not? Okay, so the question is saying that you don't want to manage gcloud cli itself.
