Answer: C

Explanation:

Write a log entry. If the log does not exist, it is created. You can specify a severity for the log entry, and you can write a structured log entry by specifying –payload-type=json and writing your message as a JSON string:

gcloud logging write LOG STRING

gcloud logging write LOG JSON-STRING –payload-type=json
