Correct answer & explanation
✓
gcp.resourceLocations
The 'gcp.resourceLocations' constraint restricts the locations where resources can be created. By setting the allowed locations to 'us' (or specific US regions), BigQuery datasets must be created in those locations. The other constraints: 'constraints/bigquery.restrictDatasetLocation' is not a valid organization policy. 'constraints/gcp.restrictNoncompliantResources' is not specific to locations. 'constraints/compute.trustedImageProjects' is for images.
