You are a data scientist working on a project that involves exploratory data analysis (EDA) on a dataset that is expected to grow beyond 100 TB. The project requires interactive querying capabilities to quickly iterate on hypotheses and visualize data insights. The solution must be cost-effective, scalable, and support standard SQL for ease of use. Which Google Cloud service is the BEST choice for this scenario? Choose one correct option.
A
Cloud Spanner - A fully managed relational database service that offers horizontal scalability and strong consistency, but is not optimized for interactive analysis of large datasets.
B
Cloud Storage - A highly durable and available object storage service that lacks built-in querying capabilities for interactive data analysis.
C
BigQuery - A fully managed, serverless data warehouse that enables scalable analysis over petabytes of data with SQL queries and integrates with visualization tools.
D
Cloud Functions - A serverless execution environment for building and connecting cloud services, not designed for large-scale data analysis tasks.
