Selected Answer: B

Google Cloud Armor is the recommended solution to protect against distributed denial-of-service and application layer (layer 7) attacks in a global application that is exposed by a global HTTP(S) load balancer. Google Cloud Armor allows you to create security policies that define rules to block traffic based on IP addresses, geo-location, user-agent, and other characteristics. These policies can be applied to specific backend services, such as Compute Engine instances, to protect them from attacks. VPC Service Controls (A) and VPC firewall rules (C) are also important for securing your application, but they are not specific to DDoS and layer 7 attacks. Hierarchical firewall rules (D) are not relevant for protecting against DDoS and layer 7 attacks.
