Agree "D". Preemptible VM is suitable for app which is fault-tolerant. Termination of preemptive VM might affect gaming experience, so it is not a good choice.

"As the system scales, ensure that data is not lost due to processing backlogs" Answer is clearly D. Never mentions about cost saving / optimizing. Plus ending instances will affect current active users.

"D". should be the right one. Preemptible VM is suitable for app which is fault-tolerant. Preemptive might lead to availability or services issues in ONLINE applications

I got the point that Answer should include non-preemptible option, but I am confused why not B?

D – create globale LB with MIG and autoscaling policies. Use non-preemptible Compute Engine instances. Standard vs Preemtible VMs is interesting dilemma for MountKirk Games. The diff in price is 4.5 times. E.g. 1 year price of n1-standard-8 (30 GB, 8 vCPUs) = 3329 $, and same preemptible = 740 $. If there are 10 servers running all time then saving in cost are 25890 $ per year. Likely not super extra expense for company if they want preserve and extend users. So, their choice should depend on user experience == their income. Couple notes from Case Study reqs supporting UX / standard VMs: 1) Our investors want more key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the speed and stability of the game 2) Improve uptime - downtime is loss of players 3) Reduce latency to all customers 4) They plan to deploy the game’s backend on Google Compute Engine so they can capture streaming metrics, run intensive analytics, and take advantage of its autoscaling server environment and integrate with a managed NoSQL database.

Last item about intestive analytics and streaming - is not appropriate task for preemptible VMs. And this is from GCP preemptible page: 1) If your applications are fault-tolerant and can withstand possible instance preemptions, then preemptible instances can reduce your Compute Engine costs significantly. For example, batch processing jobs can run on preemptible instances. 2) Preemptible instances cannot live migrate to a regular VM instance, or be set to automatically restart when there is a maintenance event. 3) Due to the above limitations, preemptible instances are not covered by any Service Level Agreement (and, for clarity, are excluded from the Google Compute Engine SLA). So, sounds as non-preemptible (standard) is a priority for Mountkirk...
