Option D seems like the most straightforward solution. Attaching a regional persistent disk and force-attaching it to the other instance in case of a zone outage sounds like the best way to minimize downtime and data loss.

I agree, using a regional SSD persistent disk and force-attaching it to the other instance is a reliable way to ensure high availability and minimize data loss.
