Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Google Cloud Storage Standard is the most appropriate choice for applications requiring frequent access to both structured and unstructured data with minimal latency. It offers low latency access and is optimized for high frequency of data retrieval, making it ideal for the web application's storage needs.
- A. Incorrect.
Google Cloud Storage Nearline is designed for infrequently accessed data, typically less than once a month, and not suitable for minimizing latency for frequently accessed data.
- B. Incorrect.
Google Cloud Bigtable is a NoSQL database that is suitable for applications requiring high throughput and scalability for structured data, but not ideal for unstructured data access patterns.
- C. Incorrect.
Google Cloud SQL is a fully-managed relational database service that is ideal for transactional and structured data but may not be the best choice for handling large volumes of unstructured data with low latency.
- D. Correct.
Google Cloud Storage Standard is designed for frequently accessed data and provides low latency access, making it suitable for both structured and unstructured data access patterns.
