Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
OCI WAF rules configured for API Gateway.
Why it's wrong here
WAF protects deployed web applications and APIs, but IAM conditions enforce administrative API source IP restrictions.
- ✗
OCI Network Security Groups with CIDR block filters.
Why it's wrong here
NSGs filter packet traffic to compute VNICs, not OCI control plane API requests.
- ✓
IAM policies with conditions checking the 'request.ip' against corporate CIDR blocks.
Why this is correct
IAM conditions allow administrators to restrict API access based on source IP addresses.
- ✗
OCI Service Gateway IP whitelisting.
Why it's wrong here
Service Gateways control access to Oracle services from VCNs, not API endpoint source IPs.
