Selected Answer: D
Option D closely aligns with the requirements mentioned in the question. By configuring Cloud Billing data export to BigQuery, you can automate the process of exporting billing data to a BigQuery dataset. You can then use Looker Studio, a data visualization and exploration platform, to create a dashboard on top of the BigQuery export. This allows you to visualize costs with specific metrics that can be dynamically calculated based on company-specific criteria.

Selected Answer: D
Cloud Billing export to BigQuery enables you to export detailed Google Cloud billing data (such as usage, cost estimates, and pricing data) automatically throughout the day to a BigQuery dataset that you specify. Then you can access your Cloud Billing data from BigQuery for detailed analysis, or use a tool like Looker Studio to visualize your data.

The key here is that the cost visualization goes beyond the standard metrics, implying a need to manipulate and aggregate the raw data which makes D the best solution
