Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Google Cloud Network Service Tiers allow users to choose between Premium and Standard tiers for their network traffic. The Premium Tier provides higher performance and lower latency by utilizing Google's global network but at a higher cost. The Standard Tier is more cost-effective as it uses the public internet for most of the network journey. Since the company is looking to optimize costs while maintaining reasonable performance, the Standard Tier is the suitable choice for hosting their web application traffic across Europe and Asia.
- A. Incorrect.
Premium Tier provides the highest performance and lowest latency by using Google's global network, which might incur higher costs.
- B. Correct.
Standard Tier is more cost-effective and uses the public internet for most of the journey, which could be suitable if the company is prioritizing cost savings while tolerating slightly higher latency.

- D. Incorrect.
This option involves a mix of tiers, which is not supported by Google Cloud Network Service Tiers as they apply uniformly to network traffic.
