A
Standard environment
B
Both standard and flexible environments
C
Flexible environment
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The App Engine standard environment is based on container instances running on Google’s infrastructure. Containers are preconfigured with one of several available runtimes. The standard environment makes it easy to build and deploy an application that runs reliably even under heavy load and with large amounts of data.

Detailed explanation-2: -The standard environment can scale from zero instances up to thousands very quickly. In contrast, the flexible environment must have at least one instance running for each active version and can take longer to scale out in response to traffic. Standard environment uses a custom-designed autoscaling algorithm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Custom runtimes allow you to define new runtime environments, which might include additional components like language interpreters or application servers. To create a custom runtime, you create a Dockerfile with a base image of your choice, and then add the docker commands that build your desired runtime environment.
