How to approach this question
Recall the structure of the GCP resource hierarchy: Organization -> Folders -> Projects -> Resources.
Full Answer
C.Organization✓ Correct
The Google Cloud resource hierarchy resembles a traditional file system. The Organization node is the root node. Folders can contain projects or other folders. Projects contain the actual cloud resources (like Compute Engine VMs or Cloud Storage buckets).
