Which Google Cloud compute service should you choose?
Answer options:

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
C.
Cloud Run
D.

Match the keywords: 'stateless', 'containerized', 'HTTP requests', 'serverless', and 'scales to zero'.
Full Answer
C.Cloud Run✓ Correct
Cloud Run is the ideal choice for stateless, containerized applications that handle HTTP requests. It is fully managed, abstracts away infrastructure, and automatically scales from zero to handle traffic spikes, meaning you only pay when your code is running.
Common mistakes
Choosing App Engine Flexible, which supports containers but cannot scale to zero. App Engine Standard scales to zero but has language restrictions and doesn't run arbitrary containers as easily as Cloud Run.
