The best solution for optimizing Cloud Storage costs and achieving data retention needs is B. Configure a lifecycle management policy on each bucket. Lifecycle Management is designed to automate data tiering (moving data to cheaper classes as it ages) and data retention (deleting objects based on age or other rules), directly addressing the requirements for cost optimization and rule-based data management. Option D (Autoclass) helps with tiering based on access but doesn't handle retention rules. Option A (Archive storage) is too simplistic and inflexible, not addressing tiering or retention rules properly. Option C (Standard + Versioning) increases costs and is counter to the goal of optimization. Therefore, Option B provides the most comprehensive and rule-driven approach for cost optimization and data lifecycle management in Cloud Storage.
