   A large e-commerce company has a microservices architecture on Google Cloud. They have an SLO of 99.99% availability. They recently experienced a major incident that was not detected by their monitoring for 15 minutes, and the on-call engineer took another 30 minutes to respond. The post-incident review identified that the monitoring was too broad and generated many false alerts, leading to alert fatigue. The company wants to improve detection and response time without overwhelming the on-call team. What should they do?

   • AIncrease the number of alerts to ensure nothing is missed.
   • BAssign more on-call engineers to handle the alert volume.
   • CReduce the number of alerts by focusing on SLO-based alerts and suppressing non-critical alerts.
   • DDisable all alerts and rely on manual monitoring.
