Your organization needs a large amount of extra computing power within the next two weeks. After those two weeks, the need for the additional resources will end. Which is the most cost-effective approach?
A.
Use a committed use discount to reserve a very powerful virtual machine
B.
Purchase one very powerful physical computer
C.
Start a very powerful virtual machine without using a committed use discount
D.
Purchase multiple physical computers and scale workload across them
C is correct because we don’t know the compute use for 2 weeks and discount is available on 1-3 years not for 2 weeks.

Agreed C. "When you purchase a committed use contract, you purchase Compute Engine resources—such as vCPUs, memory, GPUs, local SSDs, and sole-tenant nodes—at a discounted price in return for committing to paying for those resources for 1 year or 3 years."
a large amount of extra computing power: start a very powerful virtual machine
After those two weeks, the need for the additional resources will end: without using a committed use discount
