Which command allows you to recover a deleted service account quickly?

restore
undelete
recover
recreate

The correct answer is: undelete

The command that allows you to recover a deleted service account quickly is "undelete." In Google Cloud, when a service account is deleted, it is not permanently removed immediately; instead, it enters a "soft delete" state for a limited period during which it can be recovered. The "undelete" command is specifically designed to restore service accounts from this state, making it the most appropriate choice for recovering deleted resources efficiently. In contrast, while options like "restore," "recover," or "recreate" may sound plausible, they are not actual commands used in this context. "Restore" often refers to returning data or services to a previous state but doesn't specifically apply to service accounts. "Recover" suggests a similar action but lacks specificity as a command in this context. "Recreate" would involve creating a new service account with the same name, but it would not restore the specific configurations or permissions associated with the deleted account, thus not providing an effective recovery solution.
