What is the purpose of a billing account in a Google Cloud project?

  1. Horizontal scalability

  2. Resource management

  3. Cost estimation

  4. Payment for resources

The correct answer is: Payment for resources

A billing account in a Google Cloud project is used for payment and managing expenses for all of the resources being used within the project. This includes services, instances, storage, and more. Choosing options A, B, or C would not accurately describe the purpose of a billing account. Option A refers to the ability to increase resources when needed, option B refers to organizing and controlling the resources that are being used, and option C refers to providing an estimate of the costs rather than managing and paying for them. Therefore, the best option is D, as it accurately describes the main purpose of a billing account in a Google Cloud project.
