Correct answer: The BGP-learned route with priority 100 will be preferred and used..
Why this is the answer
Google Cloud routing prioritizes routes based on their priority value, where a lower numerical value indicates a higher priority. In this scenario, the BGP-learned route has a priority of 100, while the static route has a priority of 1000. Since 100 is lower than 1000, the BGP-learned route is preferred and will be used to forward traffic. Static routes are not inherently preferred over BGP routes; priority is the deciding factor. Traffic is not duplicated, nor are packets dropped due to ambiguity when distinct priorities are set.
