   A GKE cluster has a default node pool with general-purpose machines. The team needs to run a memory-intensive workload and wants to ensure those Pods are scheduled on nodes with more memory. They also want the number of these specialized nodes to scale automatically based on demand. What should they do?

   • AAdd a new node pool with high-memory machine types and enable node pool autoscaling.
   • BUse taints and tolerations on the default node pool to reserve it for the workload.
   • CEnable cluster autoscaling on the default node pool and use node selectors.
   • DCreate a new node pool with high-memory machines and manually resize it as needed.
