Correct answer: Spiders.
Why this is the answer
Google's automated programs that discover and crawl website content are commonly known as "spiders" (also called crawlers or bots). These programs systematically browse the internet, following links from page to page, to find new and updated content. This information is then used to build Google's search index. "Robots" is a broader term that can refer to any automated program, but "spiders" specifically describes those that crawl the web. "Transcripts" are written records of audio or video content and are unrelated to web crawling.
