A. B. C. D.C.
To have a historical record of what was running in Google Cloud Platform at any point in time, the best option is to use Forseti Security to automate inventory snapshots.
Forseti Security is an open-source security toolkit developed by Google that provides visibility and control over Google Cloud Platform resources across multiple projects. One of its features is inventory snapshots, which allow you to take a snapshot of the resources in a project at a specific point in time. By automating these snapshots, you can have a historical record of what was running in Google Cloud Platform at any given time.
Option A, using Resource Manager on the organization level, only provides visibility at the organization level, but not at the project level.
Option C, using Stackdriver to create a dashboard across all projects, only provides real-time monitoring and alerting, but not historical records.
Option D, using Security Command Center to view all assets across the organization, provides a centralized view of security-related information but does not provide historical records of what was running in Google Cloud Platform.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, Use Forseti Security to automate inventory snapshots.
