Selected Answer: B
A is not correct because you cannot run a Cloud Function with a service account that is not in the same Google Cloud project. B is correct because it follows the least privilege principle and for a Cloud Function, the service account must be created in the same project where the function is getting executed.

Selected Answer: A
In option B, a service account is created in Project A, but this service account would have access to all the resources within Project A, which is more than is necessary for the task of saving output to a storage bucket in Project B. Options C and D use the default App Engine service account, which would have more permissions than necessary, as it would have access to all App Engine resources within Project A or B, rather than just the permissions needed for the task of saving output to a storage bucket in Project B.

https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#providing_credentials_to_your_application In this guide, it explains the best practice for providing authentication credentials to your application. By creating a separate Google service account in the project that owns the resource you want to access (in this case, Project B), and then using that service account to perform actions on the resource (writing to the Cloud Storage bucket in Project B), you are following the principle of least privilege. This means that you are granting the minimum permissions necessary to perform the desired action.
