You work for a large ecommerce company.

 By setting the topic retention policy to 30 days, you can ensure that any new subscriber can access the messages thatwere published to the topic within the last 30 days1. This feature allows youto replay previously acknowledged messages or initialize new subscribers with historical data2. You can configure the topic retention policy by using the Cloud Console, the gcloud command-line tool, or the Pub/Sub API1.

Option A is not efficient, as it requires creating a new topic and duplicating the data for each new subscriber, which would increase the storage costs and complexity. Option C is not effective, as it only affects the unacknowledged messages in a subscription, and does not allow new subscribersto access older data3. Option D is not feasible, as it depends on the source system’s ability and willingness to re-push the data, and it may cause data duplication or inconsistency. References:
