I think it's A, because when you read documentation both of them (nearline and coldline) you can see the expresion infrecuent access. And in this case, your priority is the cost, and you are going to sabe 10 years

Option A is not a correct answer because Google Cloud Storage Coldline is not suitable for infrequent access to data. Coldline storage is optimized for archival storage with a 90-day minimum storage duration and a retrieval period measured in hours. It is not suitable for data that needs to be accessed frequently or within a short period of time. Option B is a better choice for infrequent access to data. Google Cloud Storage Nearline is optimized for infrequent access with a 30-day minimum storage duration and a retrieval period measured in seconds. It is more suitable for data that needs to be accessed infrequently or within a short period of time, such as data that needs to be accessed by auditors.

Today the answer would be Archive Storage instead of coldline, so keep in mind the options on the test may be updated.

A is the answer... The catch here is that 10 years archives to store thus coldline storage is the right pick.

I hate when we have to guess what infrequent actually means. I believe because "Cost optimization is your top priority" we should choose Coldline. A provides a more cost-effective solution.

Infrequent means not frequently, that is "less". You don't have to guess.

"Infrequent" is unclear same as "not frequently" :) I think @mlantonis wants to say "I'd like more precision: twice a year, once a year or so on"
