Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Create two separate OUs and apply different mobile settings to each

Using different Organizational Units (OUs) allows you to apply different MDM policies to different groups of devices or users.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Create two separate OUs and apply different mobile settings to each

    Why this is correct

    OUs are the standard way to apply granular policies.

  • Create a Google Group and apply policies to the group

    Why it's wrong here

    Mobile device policies are typically applied at the OU level, not the group level.

  • Use a third-party MDM for the BYOD devices only

    Why it's wrong here

    This adds unnecessary complexity; Google Workspace supports both in one console.

  • Create a single OU and use groups for individual device settings

    Why it's wrong here

    This is not how device policies are inherited.
