You've created a new firewall rule to allow incoming traffic on port 22, using a target tag of "dev-ssh". You tried to connect to one of your instances, and you're still unable to connect. What steps do you need to take to resolve the problem?

Run the gcloud firewall-rules refresh command.
Use source tags in place of the target tags.
Reboot the instances for the firewall rule to take effect.
Apply a network tag of "dev-ssh" to the instance you're trying to connect into and test again.

The correct answer is: Apply a network tag of "dev-ssh" to the instance you're trying to connect into and test again.

Explanation The correct solution would be to apply a network tag of "dev-ssh" to the instance you're trying to connect into and test again. Although option A may refresh the firewall rules, it will not resolve the issue as the target tag should be used to specify incoming traffic. Option B is incorrect as source tags are used for outgoing traffic, not incoming. Option C is also incorrect as rebooting the instances will not affect the firewall rule.
