What is the most likely cause of a core project's deletion in a startup company?

1. You've been the victim of the latest malware that deletes one project per hour until you pay them to stop.

2. One of the engineers intentionally deleted the project out of spite.

3. The project was created by one of the engineers and not attached to the organization.

4. A failed attempt to pay the bill resulted in Google deleting the project.

The correct answer is: The project was created by one of the engineers and not attached to the organization.

The most likely cause of a core project's deletion in a startup company is due to the project not being properly attached to the organization. Option A, being a victim of malware, does not have a strong likelihood as most startup companies have security measures in place to prevent such attacks. Option B, an engineer intentionally deleting the project out of spite, is not a common occurrence and would likely result in consequences for the engineer. Option D, Google deleting the project due to a failed payment, is also unlikely as companies typically have a grace period for missed payments before taking action. Therefore, option C is the most plausible explanation for a deleted core project in a startup company. It is important for startup companies to have proper organization and management of projects to avoid this issue.
