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.
