Explanation:
The correct answer is to connect to an external repository such as GitHub in Cloud Source Repository (CSR) and authorize Google Cloud Platform to link to the GitHub repository. This approach minimizes overhead by mirroring code commits from GitHub to CSR and triggering Cloud Build automatically. Other options introduce unnecessary steps, such as creating a new repository in CSR or cloning the GitHub repository, which add overhead. Additionally, Cloud Build does not require specific permissions to build images, making such grants redundant. For more details, refer to documentation on mirroring a GitHub repository and integrating with Cloud Build.
