Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Trusted (allowed access to all Google Workspace APIs and data scopes)
Why this is correct
Trusted apps have unrestricted access to requested scopes.
- ✗
Supervised (requiring a Super Administrator to approve every API call in real time)
Why it's wrong here
API calls are not approved individually in real-time by admins; configuration is policy-based.
- ✗
Read-Only Sandbox (running apps in an isolated container without data persistence)
Why it's wrong here
Sandbox containers are not a Google Workspace OAuth app configuration state.
- ✓
Limited (allowed access only to specific whitelisted Google APIs or restricted data scopes)
Why this is correct
Limited access restricts apps to specific Google services or organizational units.
- ✓
Blocked (prevented from accessing any Google Workspace user data or APIs)
Why this is correct
Blocked apps cannot authenticate or access user data.
