Answer options:
A.
gcloud config configurations create
B.
gcloud init --switch
C.
gcloud config configurations activate
D.
gcloud projects switch
E.
gcloud auth application-default login
How to approach this question
Recall how gcloud manages multiple environments using 'configurations'.
Full Answer
The gcloud CLI uses 'configurations' to manage multiple sets of properties. You use `gcloud config configurations create [NAME]` to make a new one, set its properties (like project), and then use `gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]` to switch between them seamlessly.
Common mistakes
Trying to use non-existent commands like `gcloud projects switch`.
