You've created a new Compute Engine instance in zone us-central1-b and encountered an error when trying to attach the requested GPU. What is the most likely cause of the error?

Your instance isn't running with the correct scopes to allow GPUs.
The GPU is not supported for your OS.
Your instance isn't running with the default compute engine service account.
The desired GPU doesn't exist in that zone.

The correct answer is: Your instance isn't running with the correct scopes to allow GPUs.

Possible Explanation The most likely cause of the error is that your instance is not running with the correct scopes to allow GPUs. Google Compute Engine requires special permissions for using GPUs, and if your instance does not have the appropriate scopes enabled, it will not be able to attach the requested GPU. The other options are incorrect because B states that the GPU is not supported for your OS, however, this should have been shown as an error during the creation of the instance. C states that the instance is not running with the default compute engine service account, but this should not impact the ability to attach a GPU. D suggests that the desired GPU does not exist in the zone, but if you were able to select the GPU during instance creation, then this should not be the issue. Therefore, option A is the most likely cause of the error.
