Among the given options, the correct statement with regards to 'Region' in Google Cloud is:

B. A Region consists of multiple zones.

A region in Google Cloud is a specific geographical location where Google Cloud resources are deployed. Each region is independent and isolated from other regions. Currently, Google Cloud provides services in five regions: Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Each region in Google Cloud consists of one or more zones. A zone is a deployment area within a region that contains one or more data centers. Each zone within a region is designed to be independent and resilient to failure. Thus, if one zone goes down or faces any issue, the resources in other zones of the same region continue to operate without any disruption.

In addition to zones, each region in Google Cloud consists of multiple data centers that are physically separate from each other but connected by a high-speed network. These data centers are equipped with redundant power, cooling, and networking infrastructure to ensure high availability and reliability of Google Cloud services.

Therefore, option A is incorrect as a region is not a collection of sub-regions but rather a collection of zones. Option C is partially incorrect as a region consists of multiple data centers, but not just data centers. Option D is incorrect as not every region has only one data center.
