What type of account is used for authenticating between different services in Google Cloud?

Service Accounts
Pub/Sub
Stackdriver
Compute Engine - Use COS to run a single container per instance

The correct answer is: Service Accounts

Service Accounts are used for authenticating between different services in Google Cloud. Service accounts are like special users that are created for different services to communicate with one another. Pub/Sub is a messaging service designed for asynchronous communication between services. Stackdriver is a monitoring service used for identifying, tracking, and reporting on cloud resources. Compute Engine, or virtual machine instances, can use Container-Optimized OS (COS) to run containers, but this is not specific to authentication between services. Therefore, A (Service Accounts) is the most appropriate and specific answer.
