Your company produces 20,000 files every hour. Each data file is formatted as a comma separated values (CSV) file that is less than 4 KB. All files must be ingested on Google Cloud Platform before they can be processed. Your company site has a 200 ms latency to Google Cloud, and your Internet connection bandwidth is limited as 50 Mbps. You currently deploy a secure FTP (SFTP) server on a virtual machine in Google Compute Engine as the data ingestion point. A local SFTP client runs on a dedicated machine to transmit the CSV files as is. The goal is to make reports with data from the previous day available to the executives by 10:00 a.m. each day. This design is barely able to keep up with the current volume, even though the bandwidth utilization is rather low. You are told that due to seasonality, your company expects the number of files to double for the next three months. Which two actions should you take? (Choose two.)

Chose CD2
C - because gsutil is recommended for transferring less than 1 TB from on-premises C excludes E; bandwidth is not a problem due to a simple math, so we exclude B; 4 KB file is compressed enough, so we exclude A; D - works fine because even with -m flag we can send tars in parallel.

AC is the answer

How can C and E be the answer? They are solving the same problem with different approaches. If you pick C then E can not be an answer. If you pick E then C can not be an answer. This question also seems a bit dated because of gcloud storage cli which is much more performant than gsutil. I would pick C&D as the combination makes the most sense given the choices.
