D. Note, you cannot create a read replica in Cloud SQL for SQL Server unless you use an Enterprise Edition. Which is also a requirement for configuring SQL Server AG. That's not a coincidence. That's how Cloud SQL for SQL Server creates SQL Server read replicas. To find out about the replication, use the AG Dashboard in SSMS. https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/sqlserver/replication/manage-replicas#promote-replica

SQL Server Always On Availability Groups can be configured on GCP. This feature is valuable for high availability and disaster recovery. However, the Cloud Monitoring dashboard is specifically tailored for Google Cloud resources, including Cloud SQL instances. It offers built-in metrics and monitoring capabilities designed to track and ensure that the Read Replica meets the required RPO. Even though the Always On Availability Group can be configured, Cloud Monitoring is generally more streamlined for this purpose.

Always On Availability Groups are a feature of on-premises SQL Server or SQL Server running on VMs, not Cloud SQL

I thought it was B at first but apparently, we can use Cloud Monitoring to see all the metrics for the recovery an replication.
