https://cloud.google.com/docs/overview#projectsThe correct answer is B. "Project number" can be provided by either the customer or Google.
Here is an explanation of each identifier:
Project name: This is a user-defined name for the project, which can be any string of characters that the customer chooses. The project name is used for display purposes and can be changed by the user at any time.
Project ID: This is a unique identifier for the project that is automatically generated by Google when the project is created. The project ID is a string of letters, numbers, and hyphens that uniquely identifies the project within the Google Cloud Platform. The project ID cannot be changed after the project is created.
Project number: This is another unique identifier for the project that is also automatically generated by Google when the project is created. The project number is a numeric identifier that is used in certain command lines and API calls. The project number cannot be changed after the project is created.
Therefore, "Project number" can be provided by either the customer or Google. However, the customer cannot choose the project number themselves - it is assigned by Google. The customer can view the project number in the Google Cloud Console or by using the Cloud SDK command line tool.
It is also important to note that project number and project ID are not the same identifier. While they are both unique identifiers for the project, they are different values that serve different purposes in the Google Cloud Platform.
