Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Using the Cron service provided by App Engine to publish messages to a Cloud Pub/Sub topic and then subscribing to that topic using a message-processing utility service running on Compute Engine instances is recommended. This approach leverages Cloud Pub/Sub for reliable message delivery and ensures fault-tolerant task scheduling. Although the question mentions the Cron service from App Engine, it's worth noting that the best practice now aligns with using Cloud Scheduler, which integrates similarly with Cloud Pub/Sub for these tasks.
