Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Linear scaling is best used with load patterns that change more gradually or have a few large peaks. The method calculates the minimum number of nodes or processing units required to keep utilization below the scaling threshold. The number of nodes or processing units added or removed in each scaling event is not limited to a fixed step amount. https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/autoscaling-overview#linear
