Option B with Airflow running on a VM could work, but it might be overkill for this use case. I'd probably go with Stackdriver as well.

I'm a little confused by the question. Do we need to monitor across multiple projects? If so, option D might be better since we can use the GCP APIs to pull data from different projects.
