Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable the Google Workspace Marketplace for the entire domain.
Why it's wrong here
This prevents all installs, which is too broad if other apps are required.
- ✗
Configure an endpoint verification policy.
Why it's wrong here
Endpoint verification does not control third-party app OAuth access.
- ✓
Use the 'Allowlist' feature to block specific OAuth scopes globally.
Why this is correct
App Access Control allows you to manage app permissions and block specific scopes like Gmail.
- ✗
Change the 'Sharing settings' in the Drive and Docs settings.
Why it's wrong here
Sharing settings control file sharing, not app-to-data access.
