Answer: Set the metric kind to gauge
The correct answer is to set the metric kind to gauge because it measures the value at a specific instant in time, which is ideal for monitoring memory utilization. Other options are incorrect because: cumulative is used for values that constantly increase over time and isn't suitable for memory utilization; delta measures the change since the last recording; and there is no metric kind called distribution.
