Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Google Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) Admin API
Why it's wrong here
While IAM is used for permissions, resource inventory discovery primarily depends on the Cloud Asset and Resource Manager APIs.
- ✗
Google Cloud Kubernetes Engine API only
Why it's wrong here
Enabling only GKE API would limit asset discovery exclusively to container clusters, ignoring IAM, storage, and compute instances.
- ✓
Google Cloud Resource Manager API and Cloud Asset API
Why this is correct
Prisma Cloud requires both the Cloud Resource Manager API and Cloud Asset API to traverse and discover organization-level hierarchies.
- ✗
Google Cloud Billing Budgets API
Why it's wrong here
Billing APIs are used for cost management, not cloud security posture inventory discovery.
