Explanation:
The correct answer is A because GPU availability is zone-specific in Google Cloud Platform. A GPU available in one zone may not be available in another. Refer to the GCP documentation on GPUs for more details.
- Option B is incorrect as GPUs can be attached to any supported OS and machine type.
- Option C is incorrect because the default compute engine service account is not a requirement for GPU attachment.
- Option D is incorrect as the instance's scopes do not influence GPU attachment capabilities.
