Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

AppProject
Why this is correct
AppProject allows you to define destination restrictions, including cluster and namespace whitelisting.

ConfigMap
Why it's wrong here
ConfigMaps are used for configuration, not for access control of GitOps clusters.
- ✗
ApplicationSet
Why it's wrong here
