Answer is (C). The process of encrypting data is to generate a DEK locally, encrypt data with the DEK, use a KEK to wrap the DEK, and then store the encrypted data and the wrapped DEK. The KEK never leaves Cloud KMS. https://cloud.google.com/kms/docs/envelope-encryption#how_to_encrypt_data_using_envelope_encryption

C is the correct solution because KEK is never generated on the client's side, KEK is stored in GCP.
