What is the correct order of the Google Cloud resource hierarchy from highest to lowest level?

Trap 1: Folder → Organization → Project → Resources

This reverses Organization and Folder — Organization is always the root.

Trap 2: Project → Folder → Organization → Resources

This inverts the hierarchy — Projects exist within Folders and Organizations, not above them.

Trap 3: Organization → Project → Folder → Resources

Folders sit between the Organization and Projects, not below Projects.

A
Folder → Organization → Project → Resources
Why wrong: This reverses Organization and Folder — Organization is always the root.
B
Organization → Folder → Project → Resources
The correct hierarchy is Organization at the top, followed by Folders, Projects, and individual Resources.
C
Project → Folder → Organization → Resources
Why wrong: This inverts the hierarchy — Projects exist within Folders and Organizations, not above them.
D
Organization → Project → Folder → Resources
Why wrong: Folders sit between the Organization and Projects, not below Projects.
