Answer: A

Explanation:

Follow these rules of thumb when deciding whether to use gsutil or Storage Transfer Service:

– When transferring data from an on-premises location, use gsutil.

– When transferring data from another cloud storage provider, use Storage Transfer Service.

– Otherwise, evaluate both tools with respect to your specific scenario.

Use this guidance as a starting point.

The specific details of your transfer scenario will also help you determine which tool is more appropriate.
