Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Inside a Docker volume configured in the environment's YAML manifest.
Why it's wrong here
Cloud Composer does not expose underlying Docker volume management to the user.
- ✗
In the local /home/airflow/gcs/dags directory of each worker node.
Why it's wrong here
Workers are ephemeral and should not have manual file placement.
- ✓
In the 'dags/' folder of the environment's bucket.
Why this is correct
The bucket associated with the environment is the designated location for DAG files.
- ✗
In a custom persistent disk attached to the Airflow scheduler.
Why it's wrong here
Cloud Composer manages storage through GCS, not manual disk management.
