Explanation:
Nearline Storage is designed for objects that will be accessed at most once every 30 days, making it the most cost-effective option for this scenario. Coldline Storage is more suitable for objects accessed at most once per 90 days. Multi-regional storage is ideal for objects requiring low latency access from multiple regions, and Persistent disks are used with Compute Engine instances and Kubernetes Engine clusters, not for archival storage.
