D.

Answers
D.
Use Google Workspace Password Sync to replicate passwords into Google Cloud.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Updating passwords represents user disruption. Eliminate B. Eliminate C for the same reason. D doesn't make sense, leaves A. From Google's documentation, ''Traditionally, applications running outside Google Cloud can use service account keys to access Google Cloud resources. However, service account keys are powerful credentials, and can present a security risk if they are not managed correctly. With identity federation, you can use Identity and Access Management (IAM) to grant external identities IAM roles, including the ability to impersonate service accounts. This approach eliminates the maintenance and security burden associated with service account keys.'' https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/workload-identity-federation
