Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cloud Data Loss Prevention (Cloud DLP)
Cloud DLP can be used to locate and classify personal data across Google Cloud services, helping to fulfill data subject access requests. BigQuery can be used to query and analyze data, allowing retrieval of personal data for access requests. Cloud Audit Logs track access but do not provide data. Cloud Storage is a storage service but does not directly assist with access/rectification. Cloud KMS is for key management.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.

Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
