Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Linking a project to a billing account is done through the 'Billing' section in the Google Cloud Console. Once there, you can select the appropriate billing account and link it to your new project under 'Linked Projects'. This ensures that the project's costs are tracked under the correct billing account for the marketing department.
- A. Correct.
This option describes the correct process. In the 'Billing' section, you can choose the billing account and link it to the new project under 'Linked Projects'.
- B. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because 'IAM & Admin' does not provide a direct way to manage project billing account linkage.
- C. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because 'Cloud Resource Manager' is used for managing resources and permissions, not directly for linking billing accounts.
- D. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect as there is no 'Settings' option in the Google Cloud Console for linking billing accounts directly through the 'Projects' page.
