An organization is concerned about the risk of data loss that may occur due to...

The correct answer is B. Back up data regularly. Here's why:

Context of the Question: The organization is concerned about data loss due to hardware failures or cyber-attacks and wants to restore their systems to a previous state in case of such events.

Google Cloud Product Relevance:

Backing up data regularly is the most effective way to ensure data can be restored in case of loss or damage. Regular backups create copies of data that can be stored separately from the main systems, ensuring that even if the primary data is lost or compromised, the backup can be used to restore it to a previous state.

Google Cloud offers several backup solutions, such as Cloud Storage for storing backups and Cloud SQL automated backups for database instances.

Why Not Other Options:

A. Use Cloud Monitoring: Cloud Monitoring helps observe and monitor the health and performance of applications and infrastructure but does not provide backup or data restoration capabilities.

C. Set service level objectives (SLOs): SLOs are targets for service availability and performance but do not directly help with data backup or recovery.

D. Enable autoscaling: Autoscaling helps automatically adjust resources to meet demand but does not protect against data loss or provide restoration capabilities.
