The correct answer is B. Change the region property setting in the existing App Engine application from us-central to asia-northeast1.

Google App Engine is a fully managed serverless platform for building and deploying web applications and APIs. One of the features of App Engine is that you can deploy your application to a specific region, which affects the latency and performance of your application.

To change the region of an existing App Engine application, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Google Cloud Console and select the project that contains the App Engine application.

  2. In the left menu, click on "App Engine" and then "Settings".

  3. In the "Application Settings" section, locate the "Location" field and click the edit button (pencil icon) next to it.

  4. Select the new region, in this case, "asia-northeast1", from the dropdown list.

  5. Click the "Save" button to apply the changes.

After completing these steps, your application will be served from the new region. Note that changing the region may cause some downtime as the application is redeployed in the new region.

Option A is incorrect because changing the default region property setting in the existing GCP project does not change the region of the App Engine application.

Option C is incorrect because creating a second App Engine application is unnecessary and may incur additional costs.

Option D is incorrect because creating a new GCP project is unnecessary and may also incur additional costs.
