Pls do not confuse - Cloud SQL and BigQuery are RDBMS. Cloud Datastore, Bigtable are NoSQL. Right answer is D - BQ

The question asks "This requires a relational database that can operate on hundreds of terabytes of data", but bq doesn't meet this condition?

Cloud SQL/Spanner is OLTP DB but not OLAP. BQ is a well-known OLAP for analytics and also supports RBMS feature too... so I would got with D

D is correct. BigQuery is relational. Cloud SQL is not OLAP; moreover it can not store/process hundreds of TB of data. Max size is 64 TB only.

The keyword in this context is OLAP. CloudSQL is Relational SQL for OLTP. Capacity wise, BQ supports for PB+ while CloudSQL only have max capacity of up to ~10TB. Again the questions specifically mention "hundreds of TB of data". So D is the answer.

Why is it not CloudSQL? It supports TB data storage and the question is about a relational database, not a data warehouse such as BigQuery.

The answer is Big Query, D Secret: Analytical, Hundreds of TBTs. Relational. All of this are strictly meet by Big Query, if it had not said Analytical but rather, other keywords like High Availability then Cloud Spanner.
